Maria Carolina Do Nascimento died after the car she was travelling in was involved in a crash along Hendon Way, Edgware, north London, just before 4am on Christmas Day.
A male driver in the same car suffered a head injury but his condition is not serious, police said.
The collision happened after officers on patrol indicated for a car to stop, only for the vehicle to drive off unpursued.
A short time later police were informed the same car had been involved in a collision with another.
The occupants of the car that did not stop for police fled the scene on foot.
