A new wriggle - just like the people near Speke airport that defacate in the residents' gardens after dumping their cars for 2 weeks.

A driver who crashed into two cyclists in Utah, killing both, told police the fatal collision happened after she swerved because she was uncontrollably defecating.

Julie Ann Budge has been arrested and booked into Washington County Jail on two counts of automobile homicide and two counts of driving under the influence with serious bodily injury.

The 47 year old told police she had various medical issues and had swerved into the bike lane after she started uncontrollably defecating, hitting the two brothers from California participating the Spring Tour of St. George event.

Despite witnesses attempting treatment, the riders were unresponsive and died from their injuries in hospital, with the motorist blaming her irritable bowel syndrome for causing the crash.

Arresting documents seen by KUTV (link is external) show the driver told officers she was on multiple medications and "began to uncontrollably defecate on herself while driving, so she swerved".

Budge was followed by a witness before pulling over several hundred yards from the collision site. The arresting officer wrote that a witness reported "it appeared that Julie did not have the intention of stopping after hitting the two cyclists".

The driver of a Hyundai Genesis reportedly told police she knew she had hit the cyclists but could not get her vehicle to stop.

Arresting documents state that Budge failed sobriety tests conducted at the scene and had been admitted to hospital the previous day, taking Fentanyl through an IV drip.

"At this time, I placed Julie under arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence," the arresting officer recalled. Budge was taken to hospital where a warrant was issued for a blood test.

In addition to the two counts of automobile homocide due to criminal negligence, and two counts of DUI with serious bodily injury, Budge will also face two counts of failure to remain at an accident involving death, and a class B misdemeanour charge of reckless driving and an infraction of improper lane travel.

?????

Surely you meant the fairy-cyclists who defecate on village greens
because they can't wait to get back onto their fairy-bikes and couldn't
care less about anyone else?

Is that a third party witness?

Or is the "Hyundai Genesis" the vehicle driven by the defendant?

Road.cc at its impenetrable best again, eh?

"... an infraction of improper lane travel"?

Road.cc yet again.

Assuming she's telling the truth, why swerve rather than just slow down and stop?

Instantly pulling over but happened to be a cycle lane on the side. Although she failed several substance tests and had a DUI from before so her decisions would not have been a "normal" persons. She couldn't even stop her car for several hundred feet until she realised a witness was following her.

Had the unfortunate lady been part of a timed bicycle ride?

My take is that it sounds like a"right to drive" excuse. The person claims to have a debilitating condition that means that they are unable to control their vehicle, so that makes it alright to kill people.

Alternatively, it's just a really, really crap excuse.

QUITE LITERALLY. :-)

So you admit that you're anti-driver.

Did the Daily Mail also carry the original article concerning cyclists
on a timed run DEFECATING on a village green, simply because they
couldn't be arsed to wait for a toilet to become free?

The good news for her is she'll be very close to her toilet from now on...in her jail cell!

HOHO.

I saw what you did there.

I participated in this ride. St. George has really nice roads with great bicycle paths. Some parts of the ride didn't have them and the road is narrow, but this part had a big bike path. Both riders were on that path. She had to swerve a long way off to hit them, and she had to have been driving really fast. This makes me sick. I love biking, but I realize every time I get on my bike to ride, it may be my last. Or my last day alive. Those two guys deserved better. If someone can't control their bowels, they should not be behind the wheel of a car.

Regarding an incident on a village green, involving cyclists on a timed
ride DEFECATING in public, perhaps that should have read "If someone
can't control their bowels, they should not be cycling".
