Documentary: Madness in the Fast Lane

In 2008, BBC cameras filmed two Swedish sisters throwing themselves into traffic. When it was shown on BBC One, nearly 7 million viewers were glued to their screens, and even millions more watched it later on YouTube. The twins met in Ireland before traveling to England. After their odd behavior caused them to be left at a service station, they ran on the motorway several times and were struck by oncoming vehicles, causing Ursula to be incapacitated. Sabina refused medical aid and even attacked a police officer.

The whole scenario is shocking. But on the other hand the story is incrediby, telling why people try to die on the motorway.

Two years later in 2010, this documentary reveals the full story of the hours just before the cameras captured that motorway footage, and the even more chilling story of what happened over next 72 hours, which left one of the sisters fleeing the scene of a crime, after she had stabbed a man through the chest.
