I'm with emma on this one.

nametaken, i have a twin, and can quite confidently say, althbough we have a lot of DNA in common, our brains function totally seperately. what an odd post..

i thikn they were on some serious drugs. and yes i am judging and pre supposing.

if they had head injuries before the incident, surely the aggression and recklessness would not have occured.

i feel terribly sorry for the lorry driver and the police who were clearly powerless to stop them

Monkeytrousers - so you reckon that both sisters had head injuries that caused them to run in front of traffic on the motorway? I think that possibility is negligible.

Drugs also fits with one of the sisters being charged with a murder committed the day she was released and shortly before she jumped from a bridge onto another motorway, again endangering other road users.

nearly identical head injuries that made them that combative.

when those types of injuries usually indicated major and often permanent brain damage from oxygen deprivation due to bleeding/swelling in the cranium. they're very often fatal injuries.

nah, i don't see it.

i'm with emma on this.

so sustained HI which were serious enough to produce reckless behaviour simaltaneously but not enough for LOC but both had same reckless behaviour,impulsivity,aggression

do we definitively know the results of toxicology screen

my immedite though (after OMG!) was obviously drug induced behaviour

and i think were v reckless and endangered other's.

my empathy cup is kinda empty on these girls actions

Yea, never mind smokers, failed suicides should be left in the gutter. The NHS isn't for scum them

This place gets to sound more like Jeremy Vine every day.

Eh? The head injuries have nothoing to do with running into traffic - that's how she sustained the head injury and became super strong and aggressive with the police woman and then man. This is a topsy turvy world indeed.

But you know what. I am well rid of this place this is what it has become.

lol @mt

MT - these were not just failed suicides, their actions seriously endangered other people. And one of them has since been charged with stabbing a man to death.

I find myself not terribly sympathetic - I've been suicidal but still would never have jumped off a bridge on to a road risking causing a major accident.

Crystal Meth

crank/meth/ice. i agree, lemon.

my cuz acted similarly when arrested and found to be in possession of ice (didn't run into traffic or that, but had to be subdued).
