A woman on a suicide mission speeds recklessly on a busy highway. This segment was taken from Episode 106 which aired on October 10, 1989 on CBS. It originally aired on the second special episode, which aired on May 9, 1989. This particular version of the segment was taken from a 30-minute syndicated episode, so small parts of it may have been cut out to make room for commercials.

Wait, did you or BeatleMoe upload this again? I swear I remember seeing this one as a recent upload.

[allgood2000]

@theultimatekoopa2 Not that I know of, unless someone else re-uploaded it.

wait the truck cab was white now orange what is it pick one camara

[allgood2000]

At 5:12 it changes from a re-enactment to actual footage from the incident. They may not have been able to get an orange truck for the re-enactment.

depression????!!!!!! BULLCRAP!!!! this woman sounds more like she manic or a friggin psychopath....she shouldve been put away for at least 20 years!

[Darkwingfan2008]

That was stupid that despite the woman's condition, she wasn't criminally responsible for putting other people's lives in danger. She should have been arrested and charged for attempting murder and endangering others, no matter what her condition was. Depression doesn't give you an excuse. She should have been arrested!!!!!

By the way....allgood2000, thanks for uploading this program. It was a good show back then and still is today.

Patrol officer Greg L. here: The law this state had regarding her sentencing was BS.

And her sister, who avidly defends her actions; all I can say to that is 'How bizarre.'

Oh snap! The two "critically injured women" were my grandmother and my aunt.

@allgood2000 Immediately after it says "Footage taped on....." it is a white truck at 5:24 then at 5:33 it is an orange truck. 6:44 it looks white again to me.

how do speading people not notice the cop cars?? they aren't that tricky to find

[7twatwaffle7]

i have dealt with depression and anxiety for over 12yrs.. but i also am a strong believer in PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. and hope to g_d that if i ever did something that endangered the lives of others that i would be prosecuted like everyone else. there have are times that i' feel "out of control" and the first thing i do i go to a hospital or friend. don't get me wrong, i do believe that some ppl are so mentally gone that they aren't responsible. i doubt this woman was that bad though.

[BeautifulXable]

so they waest their time ... and cars -.- just to re-enact something ?

[rodrick690]

This is a way to help be well aware of what goes on in this country.

crazy motherferr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dont drive! and u should go to jail!

[Phil0267]

Hi Bluebutdude!! The prosecutor probably felt that winning a conviction was slim due to the woman's proven depression illness. She was not held criminally responsible but what about a civil court case. I know this sucks but that is the way it is. Remember the case of Houston mom Andrea Yates? She is now an inmate in a mental hospital. And what about Susan Smith of Union South Carolina? I don't think she's dead either.
