Man on motorbike being idiot knocks a cyclist off, woman in car behind gets tangled in ensuing carnage and blamed, woman in car lashes out for being blamed. Not an entirely well thought out action, but her boyfriend is now in intensive care so understandable. Local busybody blog finds picture of her smokeing a shisha pipe and tells everyone she's a pot head.

Makes the Mail look fair and ballanced doesnt it?

how did you stumble on that article

It was on CGOAB. I'm about to set off on another US tour, it's a great resource, but sometimes stuff like this freaks me out. We had one altercation with a nutter in a pick up in Missouri last year. That was one too many.
