There are numerous dash cam videos our there of police being sideswiped like that on the side of the road and having little to no injury even at highway speeds. It appears the one girl was only hit with the side mirror of the car. This will not do much damage even at highway speeds. I am a paramedic and have witnessed the aftermath of numerous pedestrians being struck by cars at various speeds and under various conditions. You would be amazed at what people can survive. Also some of the signs of a brain injury can be confusion, disorientation and combativeness so if there is an injury of that type it could account for what the police witnessed.

Now saying 'oh they were all drugged up on meth', or pcp or whatever type of drug you can name, is just a cop out. A lame cliche that's so overused it implies the speaker has not a single clue what it's like to be side swiped by a car while high on drugs. If YOU havn't been on (insert drug of choice here) then don't claim it can illeviate the pain of a fractured collar bone and a sprained anklle.

As stated before I am a paramedic and I have seen just about any kin dof trauma you can imagine. Yes being on something like meth, PCP or crack coc aine can mess you up to the point that you don't feel pain and have super human strength. I've seen people walking on crushed ankles with bones sticking out of the skin or seen them having to be subdued by seven police officers after being shot, pepper sprayed and tazed. Yes that stuff is nasty and a lot of the stories you here are true.

watch the movie, search for 'ursula and sabina ericksson', or, yeah, read through this thread. it's pretty well documented that they hadn't any drugs in their systems. obviously they each went to the hospital after the roadway incident.

Respectfully, it's up to the OP to provide sources, not contributors to the thread to go looking for them.

As I recall, Sabrina was 'detained' for 18 months for a psychiatric 'evaluation'. Which means she is free right now. As they caught the coach from Liverpool I'm very wary of any ladies that seem distressed in my neighbourhood (Penny Lane area).
It was a very very traumatic and terrifying event which has yet to be understood. You need to watch the whole documentary (on youtube, about an hour long, called Madness on the Motorway) to fully appreciate the events that unfolded. I'm not easily ruffled, but this event really gave me the creeps. Be advised, this documentary could really shake you up.

you're right, for sure. it's just that i was convinced that they had to be on drugs, too. also, perhaps the OP can do better than i did at finding more info about these people. this story is very interesting, to say the least.

i certainly meant no disrespect at all either. again, just reacting mostly to my own disbelief that somebody could have crushed legs and still be arguing with the cops.

i have nothing but respect for all ATSers until they give me reason to do otherwise. i love this community.

There's a wikipedia page on Ursula and Sebina Erikkson with a lot more information.

Also, there are a few Facebook pages for them both... not sure which ones are real personal pages or made up ones but if anyone really wants to dig further there ya go.

Toxicology report came up clean, BBC report a week after the event. Sorry I don't know how to link or embed or things like that, I just read and if interesting do some research. This case is disturbing and I'm glad it has been brought up here for re-examination by ATS.

This is not an event that can be debunked, though I would welcome theories from debunkers. The BBC news team are very credible.

It is what happened after the motorway incident that should be looked at as most perplexing, as getting run over on a motorway by heavy goods vehicles was just the 'icing on the cake'.

Why did Sabrina not ask about her twin sisters' wellbeing. Why was she released from custody so soon. How did she then get taken home by a stranger she met, only to stab him to death and then walk around hitting herself on the head and then jump 40 feet from a flyover?

Perhaps we should be asking why there has been No More Information Available. Which is why it is very fittng that the event should be looked at by ATS, which has my respect most of the time, but someone should have a hand on the videos of chinese lanterns...

N.B. for the debunkers: The event was filmed by a tv crew doing a documentary on police highway patrol. In the UK we drive at 70 to 90 miles per hour on the motorway but slow to 40 or 50 if there is an incident, the video is slowed down in the documentary. The twins were clean of drugs. They are both alive and well and free.

What I find interesting is the lack of additional information on these two. I followed all the links on the WIki page plus ran a regular search and there is basically no background info other than they have an older brother and Sabina is married with children. Such a sensational act of insanity captured on film...you'd think the vultures would have been all over this thing. The husband and children in Ireland....what became of them? Here in the US we would have been spoon-fed every night the family history of these girls (ala Casey Anthony). The lack of info really intrigues me even more.

I'm inclined to agree that there must have been an intoxicant of some sort for Sabrina to get up and fight with officers trying to help, after being hit by traffic. I can only think of mushrooms as the toxi report was negative.

But being released from custody to then stab a man for a ciggie and then walk around self-harming and then jumping 40 feet onto another road>>

My main query is why we have heard no more on the affair. No explanation or attempt at explanation.

It would be most welcoming if Americans could cast an eye on this singular event as they have more resources to do so, even if they , sorry, you guys,.. are far away across the ocean.

Sorry, got distracted there...and you would be too ..please watch the documentary on youtube..Madness on the Motorway. Its in four parts of ten mins ]
