Burned armpit hair causes Idaho car crash
An SUV full of teens crashed in Idaho after police say one of the passengers lit the driver’s armpit hair on fire.
The crash happened at about 5:30 a.m. Sunday, the Ada County Sheriff’s Office said.
Deputies said 18-year-old Tristan Myers lost control of the vehicle after a 16-year-old passenger used a lighter to set Myers’ armpit hair on fire.
Two girls in the backseat, ages 15 and 16, were thrown from the vehicle.
All five teens in the vehicle were injured and received medical treatment. None were wearing seatbelts, Spokane-based TV station KREM reported.
Myers was cited for inattentive driving. The lighter-wielding passenger was ticketed for interfering with the driver’s safe operation of a vehicle.
