As she saw the police, Rose sped up madly.

Hi

Is the underlined a natural phrase? Any suggestions please?

(Rose is driving a stolen car...)

As she saw the police, Rose sped up madly.

Thanks,

Tom

In American English the word "madly" would not be used like this. You'd hear instead something like: When she saw the police, Rose started speeding/started to speed.
