The Eriksson Twins
Case 17
The Eriksson Twins
On the 17th of May 2008, two motorway patrol officers attended a call that a pedestrian had been hit by a vehicle on the M6 motorway, near the city Stoke-on-Trent, in England.
Expecting the worst, the two officers were surprised when they arrived to see two pedestrians standing calmly and uninjured on the shoulder of the motorway.
It didn’t look like much was going on at all. But within a few minutes, the seemingly calm situation took a frightening twist.
