WASHINGTON CITY, Utah (TCD) -- A 47-year-old woman was taken into custody after she allegedly fatally struck two brothers who were in town for a road race because she allegedly could not control her bowels.

According to the Washington City Police Department, on April 9 at approximately 2 p.m., officers went to Telegraph Street near Coral Canyon Boulevard for a report of a crash involving two cyclists. The two victims were reportedly traveling westbound using the bike lane when a car hit them. Police said they do not know how fast the car was going, but "the posted speed limit is 50 MPH."

The two men were transported to St. George General Hospital, where they died from their injuries. In a subsequent news release, the Washington City Police Department identified the brothers as 48-year-old Matthew Bullard and 49-year-old Adam Bullard from Whittier, California.

A photo shared by the Washington City Police Department shows bicycle parts strewn alongside the road as law enforcement vehicles block the lanes.

According to an arrest affidavit cited by KUTV-TV, the suspected driver, Julie Ann Budge, allegedly told police she was on several medications for different medical reasons, including one for irritable bowel syndrome. The affidavit reportedly noted Budge said she would "defecate on herself without warning."

At the time of the crash, she was reportedly driving from Hurricane, Utah, and "began to uncontrollably defecate while driving, so she swerved."

Budge reportedly did not stop after hitting the two victims, but a witness followed her car until she pulled over. She allegedly failed all her sobriety tests and said she had been in the hospital the day before taking fentanyl via an IV drip.

Washington Police arrested Budge for two counts of automobile homicide, leaving the scene of an accident involving a death, DUI with serious bodily injury, reckless driving, and improper lane travel.

What a fucking whack job. First of all, her FB paints the picture of a hypochondriac that's hooked on Opioids. She obviously doesn't have many friends or they know the deal because every fundraiser she's ever tried to do had zero contributions. She was drugged up and hit the bicyclists. She's also a Trump loving anti vaxxer. Quality character here
She's full of shit, pun intended.

Lock her up.

I think you shit your pants when you are withdrawling from opiods.

Why would she swerve if she was shitting her pants?

She swerved because she was fucked up. Clearly. They did a sobriety test on her and she failed.

Woman who blamed fatal crash on pooping has history of drunk driving, health issues

The Utah driver who blamed a bout of uncontrollable defecation for an accident that left two bicyclist brothers dead has a history of drunk driving and multiple health issues, according to reports.

Julie Ann Budge, 47, who struck the brothers with her SUV in Washington City on Saturday, was convicted in 2015 for driving under the influence, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.

She also was convicted in 2006 for an unknown offense, the news outlet reported.

Budge has also detailed various health struggles over the years in posts on Facebook, including sharing one photo in which she is wearing a T-shirt bearing the message, “Straight outta addiction.”

In September 2018, she wrote: “Been going thru a bipolar episode since the 5th. New to me bc usually I sleep sleep sleep. This time I can’t and reached my limit today. Mentally, emo and physically exhausted.”

In another post, she thanked various people for their support.

“I believe in expressing gratitude and letting others know they’re valued. As addicts, esp (not all of you), we underestimate our worth and our impact on others. TY so much!” she said.

Budge on Saturday blamed her “various medical issues,” including irritable bowel syndrome, for striking Adam Bullard, 49, and Matthew Bullard, 47, as they rode during a race in the bike lane, officials said.

Budge told cops that her medical issue caused her to defecate “without warning” and swerve into the two men, according to KUTV.

She was being held following the crash under observation in the Purgatory Correctional Facility in Hurricane, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.

In her posts on Facebook, she has made numerous requests for donations to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

Budge has been charged with two counts of automobile homicide due to criminal negligence, two counts of failure to remain at an accident involving death and two counts of DUI with serious bodily injury by negligent operation. The charges are all felonies.

She also was slapped with a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving and an infraction for improper lane travel.

Meanwhile, friends and relatives mourned the loss of the Bullard siblings, both of Whittier, California.

Matthew’s wife said on Facebook that Adam, a mechanic at Cyclery Bike Shop in Southern California, was his “best friend” and posted images from her brother-in-law’s Instagram account.

“This is how they spent their last day,” she wrote.

The shop’s owner, Steve Herrera, has launched a GoFundMe campaign for the families of the avid cyclists, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.

“Matt and Adam lived a full life, dedicated to Jesus Christ, their families, and each other,” Herrera wrote on the fundraiser’s page, adding that the brothers were “inseparable” and near the finish line when they were struck.

“Each a rock star in their own right, Adam leaves behind his wife, Shannon, and son Jacob, and Matt leaves behind his wife, April, his son Michael, and his three daughters Amanda, Abby and Sarah,” Herrera added.

Mark Mendez, the bike shop’s general manager, said Adam “was just a beautiful soul. He was always happy. He never had any bad intentions for anything,” KSL-TV reported.

I understand addiction and I understand making mistakes. But if you don't learn not to drive while under the influence after being caught once? THAT I don't understand. There's literally no excuse for it these days with Uber and Lyft and the like out there. I hope they nail her. Maybe she will finally get clean.

If she hadn't fled the scene I might have one iota of belief in her. Nope.
