Insane twins trying to kill themselves?

[PhantomWolf]

This is pretty shocking, and amazing footage from a incident on the M6 in Britian. Amazing they both survive, but honestly, they had to be stark raving bonkers.

[Ian Pearse]

To say that is one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen is putting it mildly. What on earth did they think they were doing???

[Obviousman]

Either deranged or some type of weird suicide pact.

[echnaton]

Those women have some severe problems with authority.

[smlbstcbr]

What the holy hell were they thinking? apart from risking their lives, they put the police, the drivers and the journalist's lives in serious danger. Any other proof to say that drugs are terrible for human beings?
Do not the police in Britain carry guns?

Do not the police in Britain carry guns?

No, New Zealand cops don't either.

Okay, so there is more to this story, and it really isn't gfetting any less bizzare, though unfortunately it has got a lot more serious.

Here's an longer version of the orignal story, though be warned it includes images not shown in the first, and the video and audio are out of sync.



since then there is more in the local papers.

The pair caused chaos on the M6 at Keele and the northbound carriageway was shut for more than four hours.

Yesterday, Swede Sabina Eriksson, aged 40 and currently living in Ireland, pleaded guilty to going on to the M6 motorway on Saturday. She also admitted assaulting a police officer.

The defendant and her sister were travelling by coach from Liverpool to London when they disembarked at Keele because neither of them were feeling very well.

Bizarre,

[Nowhere Man]

Could be a case of carbon monoxide poisoning. If the motor coach they were on had a leaky exhaust system, that might explain it. Although, apparently no one else on the coach was affected.

Probably the inhalation of some other product from the combustion of organic material.

I saw this when it was broadcast. According to the police, they were very probably on drugs (the mania, the strength). But it was a surprise to me to find from this thread that one was up for murder. Then again, once I'd learnt that fact...
