Such a crappy story. Allegedly, she lost control of her car and hit two people on bikes. Both died. They were brothers from California participating in a bicycle race. That's when she blamed the accident on... wait for it, wait for it... her IBS. Get a load of this.

That’s when Budge told police that she “began to uncontrollably defecate” in her car, which suddenly caused her to swerve and hit the men, according to Salt Lake City Fox affiliate KSTU.

Budge told responding officers that she had “various medical issues” and that she did not see the two men. She also said she couldn’t get her car to stop after the crash until it stopped several hundred yards away from the crash site.

The two men, whose names have not been released, were transported to a local hospital where they both died from their injuries.
I think she is full of it. She was charged with two counts of automobile homicide with criminal negligence, two counts of DUI, two counts of leaving the scene of an accident involving death, reckless driving, and improper lane travel.

I'd like to see the doctor's statement that supports this excuse. OTOH, I bet there's plenty of documentation regarding her fentanyl use.

I bet $100 she crapped her pants after hitting the people.

That wasn't IBS that was probably the drugs and whatever the 2nd DUI was for. Put that much crap into your system it's going to force it's way out.

Those poor brothers and their two son's who were riding behind them in the race. I can't imagine seeing that.

That she got charged with DUI is buried in the story. It's the most important part of what happened. Her lawyer better be great at tap dancing if that's the defense she is going to use.

Yep and this isn't her first DUI. She had been convicted at least once before.

If the driver admits she hit and killed two people, this isn't a case of "allegedly."

Well, regardless of why she did it, she did it. So now she has to pay.

I didn't read the link, but unless you syphoned off some of the journalistic flair of those writers/reporters, you deserve some kudos for your tongue in cheek commentary.
