A mum who crashed at 88mph on a motorway slip road while high on cannabis and using Snapchat at the wheel has been spared jail as it would ‘impact’ her children. Crystal Ward, 27, had already been banned from driving but decided to ignore it and travel along the M60 near Sale, Greater Manchester. She made a series of eight second video clips from her VW Golf, one of which shows a passenger pleading ‘Babe!’ before the crash, which led to her hitting a barrier with such force that the engine was hurled out of the vehicle into the main carriageway where it was hit by another car. Ward, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was also ejected from the vehicle and suffered spinal injuries while Hamzah Ahmed, the father of one of her children, was trapped in the wreckage. Tests showed she was four times the drug driving limit for cannabis. She was serving a 40 month ban for a previous drink and drug driving conviction. Police recovered the video, taken at around 1.45am on June 11 last year, when officers examined her phone. At Minshull Street Crown Court, Ward, from Bradford, faced jail after she admitted drug driving,…

Manny ‘MUA’ Gutierrez is taking to Snapchat to help young LGBTQ+ people come out of the closet in a new series executive produced by the actress Chloë Grace Moretz. A total of six weekly episodes will spotlight six different stories, with the makeup artist and YouTube star — who counts 4.8 million subscribers and 2.5 million monthly views — providing moral support and counsel. The series was first announced at Snapchat’s NewFronts presentation in May, and premiers on Sunday. “Coming out for me wasn’t super easy, so if I can in any way, shape, or form help other people come out, that would be amazing,” the 30-year-old — who was raised Mormon and initially struggled to gain acceptance from his family after coming out as gay — tells People. “The cool thing about getting to be able to do this with Snapchat is their audience is so predominantly young, and they’ll be able to see people like themselves coming out and having great experiences with it.” At the conclusion of each episode — which is produced by 44 Blue Productions — The Trevor Project will furnish coming out resources via swipe-ups. In addition to his new Snapchat series, Gutierrez is…

Just wanted to clarify that it’s not stylised, but actual Middle English. The text is from The Canterbury Tales.Finally, on July 9 2021, u/kiralamouse added:Okay, had to track it down.
