WendyWeber · 28/09/2008 22:31

No, not just on that basis, cod. There are news reports.

NotCod · 28/09/2008 22:32

so
women on drugs act oddly.

thastit

unknownrebelbang · 28/09/2008 22:34

Trial reports could make for interesting reading.

Or maybe not, if we have to rely on the Sentinel for them...

edam · 28/09/2008 22:37

be fair, Coddy, it's not every day people on drugs try to play with the traffic on a motorway. Otherwise you would be a LOT busier.

edam · 28/09/2008 22:37

Or combine playing with traffic and leaving dead bodies lying around somewhere else.

NotCod · 28/09/2008 22:38

we dont haev motorways in our area 9 wel the tip of the m4!)
btu iam sure you do

WendyWeber · 28/09/2008 22:39

And there has as yet been no official word on the reason for their behaviour - hence wild specualtion on MBs like this

If you know more than has been reported, do tell

NotCod · 28/09/2008 22:40

when did it happen?

adn where

WendyWeber · 28/09/2008 22:40

Near Keele services, M6, May

expatinscotland · 28/09/2008 22:41

'And I thought Ketamine was a date-rape drug. Used to make people seem drowsy.'

Oh no. It's a sedative/anaesthetic allright. In animals. In people Vitamin K - which was common for years in the US before folks started using it here - has an effect more like esctacy/eccies/E's/'rolling'.

GHB is for date rape. Some people still get hold of Rohypnol or roofies, but it's easier just to make GHB.

In the US, some girls also take GHB to get a drunken effect without the calories from alcohol.

Vitamin K is also commonly combined with other drugs to prolong or intensify the effects - like with junk or LSD.

NotCod · 28/09/2008 22:41

may!
lordy.

expatinscotland · 28/09/2008 22:42

One of my cousins was a meth/ice user and she got all violent like these gals.

That's how she was finally caught out.

edam · 28/09/2008 22:42

There was a body found on the M1 a while back. That's about it for my part of the world (apart from crashes, obviously).

WendyWeber · 28/09/2008 22:46

The name is Sabina Eriksson, cod; murder victim is Glen Hollinshead, Fenton, Stoke

unknownrebelbang · 28/09/2008 22:46

This was a rather odd series of events.

emma1977 · 28/09/2008 23:00

Ketamine is usually sedative, but can also make some people really wired and aggressive.

As for the 'they were identical twins, so it's quite possible that they were acutely delusional in exactly the same manner because they share huge amounts of DNA' assertion.... the word drivel springs to mind. It is way more likely that they took the same drugs together.

expatinscotland · 28/09/2008 23:05

'Ketamine is usually sedative, but can also make some people really wired and aggressive.'

Especially if combined with another drug, which it is often enough.

ScottishMummy · 28/09/2008 23:23

special K potent horse anaesthetic which paradoxically can make one aggressive,paranoid

i feel for staff what a terrible C&R some restraints are so bad

poor lorry driver

Monkeytrousers · 29/09/2008 10:25

Head injuries can have this effect. Get a grip people please. There is no evidence that drugs were involved beyond a potent wish by most of you to demonise these women before you know the facts.

Those two women were barking mad when the police arrived on the scene. They ran across all the lanes from the start. Also they didn't have head injuries when they were spotted walking up the central reservation by CCTV cameras right at the beginning. I had the misfortune to watch it from the beginning of the story....the worst bit was I couldn't stop watching it because I couldn't believe my eyes.

emma1977 · 29/09/2008 11:33

I don't have a huge amount of sympathy for them I'm afraid.

They put a lot of innocent drivers' lives at risk by their behaviour. I'm guessing that the lorry driver is pretty traumatised by what happened.

7 weeks of inpatient treatment for injuries and a prosecution doesn't come terribly cheap to the taxpayer.

To survive a bullseye injury (where a persons head smashes a windscreen) you have to be pretty 'relaxed' in the first place prior to the impact. In my experience, this usually involves drug or alcohol intoxication.
