Woman intentionally crashes car into oncoming traffic as a test of "faith"
A Pennsylvania woman intentionally drove into oncoming traffic in a twisted effort to test her faith, state police allege — and although she survived without injuring herself, the crash injured two other motorists.
Nadejda Reilly, 31, was allegedly driving along Route 93 on Jan. 7 and awaiting a calling from God when she decided to slam into another vehicle in the Weatherly area of Carbon County, Pennsylvania, investigators said.
Two people in the other vehicle were hospitalized with injuries — but that apparently inspired no remorse from Reilly.
“Reilly related [that] God took care of her by not having her injured,” wrote Trooper Bruce Balliet in an arrest affidavit.
{bold]“Reilly expressed no concerns or remorse for the victims. Reilly also stated she did not care if the other people were injured because God would have taken care of them.” [/bold]
Reilly is currently jailed without bail and facing charges of aggravated assault.
Her lawyer, Andrew Theyken Bench, filed a notice with the court that Reilly plans to waive her formal arraignment in Carbon County court.

Well she is going to get the real test of faith in prison. Is there a picture of her. Is she going to be pass around Sue, the new fresh meat. She's going to have to work a little for the Top Dog once she arrives.

She'll get off on an insanity plea. People who aren't mentally ill don't hear voices in their head telling them to do things.

Is this a flashback episode of OITNB?

Can you file a civil suit against someone who passes the legal definition of non compos mentis that would make them not criminally responsible for their actions?
This woman should be put in jail or EVERY person who believes in religion should be institutionalized.

Was "Jesus Take The Wheel" on her iPod?

Why aggravated assault and not attempted murder? Her rationale is essentially the same as that of a suicide bomber.

Let’s try that test of faith in a ‘65 Ford Falcon and see how she makes out.

Reminds me of that Onion piece about the woman getting killed after seeing sex dolls floating in the air. She thinks they are angels and the Rapture is happening. She climbs thru the sun roof saying "taking me Jesus" or something like that.

I don't know why everyone is so upset, especially the people in the other cars that were injured. We need to respect this brave Christian warrior's right to express her sincerely held religious beliefs!

That was an episode of "Six Feet Under." She runs out of her car, saying "Take me, Jesus" and gets hit on the highway by a semi.

Don't you know Christians can't be terrorists?

R14 it was an Onion piece first, I think. I remember reading it on the Onion and then saw Six Feet Under but here's the Snopes piece on it.

I guess there's no way the gov't can check for this kind of disability when deciding whether to issue a license to drive. Not that her type would refrain from driving just because she wasn't licensed. So she just has to be gotten off the streets -- jailed if she's found guilty or confined to an asylum if she's acquitted by reason of insanity (in either case, forever, I hope).
