Police say a pregnant woman who officers tried to pull over for speeding crashed into a Frankfort house. But the woman says she couldn’t help it.
“It just kept getting faster and faster and the brakes weren’t working anyway and I just went head on,” said Julia Hudson who crashed through a Franklin County house as she and her fiance, Josh Griffin, made their way home. The two are expecting their first child in July.
“She’s seven months pregnant. I don’t think running into a house was what we were trying to do,” said Griffin.

Police say an officer tried to stop the two for speeding and Hudson says that’s when the car took off at a high rate of speed.
Hudson admits she was speeding, but the couple says they weren’t trying to outrun the cop. They say the accelerator stuck and the brakes failed.
“It wasn’t slowing down and I didn’t know what to do so I started panicking because I knew the four-way intersection was ahead of us so started yelling at him like ‘help me!'” said Hudson.
Griffin says he took the wheel to try to slow the car down. That’s when they crashed through the front of this home on Colonial Trace, landing in the garage.
“I didn’t want the steering wheel to hit my belly so I turned to the side and that’s why I’m bruised on my back. All this side hit the steering wheel,” said Hudson.
No one inside the home was injured. The two walked away with scrapes and bruises. Hudson was taken to the hospital as a precaution but she and her baby girl are fine.
Police say they’re looking into charging Hudson, but she says they never said anything about charges.
“I admitted to speeding last night to them and they still weren’t talking about giving me fines or anything,” she said.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Drugs and alcohol have been ruled out.
