Montgomery police Sgt. Becky Lehn told KTRK-TV in Houston that the stolen car reached top speeds before OnStar took control and slowed it to about 60 mph then brought it to a stop at a high school.

The older girl was taken into custody and could be charged with evading arrest.

No one was injured.
