The Mysterious Behavior of Sabina and Ursula Erickson

Sabina and Ursula Erickson, twin sisters born in Sweden in 1967, exhibited bizarre behavior in a strange turn of events. They left Ireland, traveled to Liverpool, and eventually ended up on the M6 motorway. Acting erratically on a bus, they refused luggage storage, leading to their expulsion, after which they walked along the highway, endangering themselves and others. The police, called to the scene, deemed them not harmful but later chaos ensued when Ursula ran into oncoming traffic, sustaining serious injuries.
