Women dice with death on M6 in the UK

[Deleted User]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7636577.stm

Motorway police have had to deal with two women spotted walking down the central reservation of the M6. The women, twin sisters from Sweden, ran in front of oncoming traffic after wrestling with the police.

Quite incredible footage, they appeared to really want to end it all!

That is incredibly insane.

Were they trying to commit suicide?

I really don't understand! Baffling!

Not that it was the cops' fault per se, but they seemed to be particularly useless in that video.

I don't think they expected the girls to run back into the road!

The chief of the UK authorities wants to have ANPR cameras installed every 400 yards on every motorway .

My wife had her car nicked once, th epolice tracked around the town using ANPR and waited for it! recovered in less than two hours.

You can't beet ANPR cameras for pin pointing cars but it can work both ways.

I hope it's just you condoning murder.

Anyway, was a motive ever discovered or were they just suicidal?

Sharpshooter

Whats confusing me is that if they were suicidal, why not do it without endangering other people. l am not trying to highlight suicide but there are other obvious ways. What if they had caused a pile up on the motorway?
They cannot have been in their right mind surely.

That actually reminded me of an experience heading to Athlone. Was about 4 miles the Dublin side of Athlone about 10pm in the evening, was around Christmas so was dark. Came around a bend and was heading along a fairly long straight stretch. Anyways when the traffic came around the bend at the other end of the road, all of a sudden I see this guy staggering around in the middle of the road. Only for the cars coming the other direction he would have been a smear on the front of my car.:eek:

Further down the road I passed a squad car, on the way out to get the guy I'd say. Just couldn't believe someone was walking around in the middle of a busy road like that.

its dark now and its not really near christmas

How the hell did yer one run in front of a speeding car, get knocked down (making a massive dent in the roof) and then get up again!? It took 6 men to restrain her! Jesus christ.

In general it takes a few people to restrain anyone who is going ape without hurting them too much.

Especially when there are cameras around recording your every action and you don't want to be on the news and in the papers clocking some crazy bint in the face.

Crappy situation for the police and the driver of the truck. Both groups put at huge risk over two mental bints.

Hope they were given some treatment at the very least.

Glad to say 'Bruce the hungry Australian pig' had me chuckling after the madness of them two lunatics!

trying to kill yourself like that is just selfish.

imagine what the person who hits them would feel like.

I didn't say murder.

It was handled very badly by the police though, two people throw themselves into traffic, so you bring them to the side of the road to further the investigation, leaving them with one guy while the rest of you discuss the situtation?

Thats weird.

Doesn't look like the Programme is going to be shown.

It was shown, maybe not on BBC1 NI (possibly on later), I have Sky Card from South of England, show was on 9pm. The 2 swedes had been in Ireland, went to England on bus and for some bizarre reason decide to walk along the central reservation.

They must have been all but indestructible, those girls. Side-effect of the cosmo-rays, probably.

Good to see some motorists getting in the fray. At least not all hope is lost for the citizenry.

Thanks for that , so there was no answers at the end of the programme then?

Turns out they were involved in a murder! So they obviously thought getting hit by a car was better than going to jail.

Gauge

Yep, from Mallow in Cork apparently!

Great, probably. Imagine being able to tell your mates you nailed a pair of Swedish twins?
