'Mountains Of Trash' Inside Car Blamed For Crash (Pic)

Mountains of trash stuffed inside a woman's car in Cape Cod, Mass., caused the car to accelerate and crash, according to police.

Police in West Yarmouth said there was so much trash in 53-year-old Ann Ann Biglan's Ford Focus that some of it fell onto the gas and brake pedals, causing her to lose control.

While losing control, Biglan drove through a post office parking space, over the curb and across a freeway.

She then hit a Ford Explorer and backed over another sidewalk before finally crashing into a flowerpot in a gas station's parking lot.

Biglan was charged with negligent and impeded operation of a motor vehicle, failure to use care in backing, and operating with a rejected safety inspection sticker.

Silly goose. Put the transmission selector into neutral and then turn off the ignition key.

That would work up until the point she needed to steer it. With the key in the off position it's a locked wheel.

Thanks...interesting!

I liked Uncle Arthur:

People just leave parking tickets on their cars," he said wonderingly. "I must have found thousands of dollars' worth. Every day I could pick one up."

Not true. There is an "Off" position before the locked position.
