Girls vs Oncoming Truck

[GrumpyGregry]

Amazing professionalism from those traffic officers. Under bizarre and highly pressurised circumstances. A credit to themselves, their families and their force.

I believe that the woman who was hit by the HGV actually died later on in hospital.

No she didn't

Both had a high amount of heroin in their blood.

No they didn't.

Ursula and Sabina Eriksson, born 1967, are a pair of Swedish twins who came to national attention in the United Kingdom in 2008 after an apparent episode of folie à deux which resulted in an incident on the M6 motorway, which was filmed on CCTV, and the killing of Glenn Hollinshead. No drugs or alcohol were involved in any of the incidents.[1][2] Their actions have never been explained, other than by a rare, induced delusional disorder which caused the pair to be temporarily insane.[3]
The twins met in Ireland before travelling to England. After their odd behaviour caused them to be left at an M6 service station, they ran on to the motorway numerous times and were struck by oncoming vehicles, causing Ursula to be incapacitated. Sabina refused medical aid and attacked a police officer, at which point she was arrested. After being released by police in Stoke-on-Trent, Sabina then was taken in by a local resident whom she later killed in an unprovoked attack. She was arrested after jumping off a bridge into a busy road and later pleaded
guilty tomanslaughter with diminished responsibility. She was sentenced to five years imprisonment and released on parole in 2011. Her whereabouts are unknown.

Oh right. Well that was my perception of what happened. It has been a long time since I saw it on TV.

Perceptions and facts are two very different things.

that's entertainment for you!

Just for once it was actually informative

It took a sensational incident and analysed it in a non sensational way that explained a lot about the incident

It was very informative. I seem to remember that someone involved in deciding not to section the women said their decision would have been different had they seen the footage of the original motorway incident. it goes to show how the seriousness of incidents are underplayed.
