A teenager who put her bra on a car antenna before it flew off and led to a highway accident will be charged with littering, a prosecutor said.

Emily Davis, 17, of Bowling Green, told investigators she took her bra off while her friend was driving on I-75.

James Campbell, who was driving behind the girls, said he swerved to avoid the bra and his car flipped several times.

Campbell, 37, broke a vertebra in his neck during the accident on Sept. 26. His passenger, Jeff Long, 40, broke several ribs.

A State Highway Patrol crash report said that the girls told investigators that before the accident, the men were motioning to them to lift up their shirts.

Both men denied making the gestures.

Davis will be charged next week with misdemeanor littering, said Tim Atkins, a Juvenile Court prosecutor in Wood County. Atkins said he’ll meet with troopers before filing the charge.

The girl’s friend, Tabitha Adams, 17, of Bowling Green, said she told Davis not to hang her bra outside because she knew it would fly away, according to the report.

That must have been a heck of a big bra to have to swerve to miss it!

[1rudeboy]

All right. Let's have a show of hands: who thinks the driver swerved to avoid the bra? Now, who thinks the driver swerved to catch it?

[1curiousmind]

Miss it???? He was trying to catch it!

[Lucky9teen]

How big was the bra, that he had to swerve around it? Jeesh

Yeah right.

[mikrofon]

Nah, it was only misdemeanor littering -- apparently not large enough to be classified as a felony...

here boys! breath free - fly!!

boingie-boingie-boingi-splat!

[1curiousmind]

If it was big enough, maybe she'll try to argue that it was a car bra.

Here's the gal who let it fly:

Who swerves to avoid a piece of cloth on the highway?

I'd hit Lassie if it meant avoiding an accident.

Count me in the "swerved to catch it" camp.

Mrs. Theknow was watching a "Walk for the Cure" rally this AM for a Breast Cancer walkathon. There was some music in the background and she asked me if I knew what it was.

"Sure, Hon. It's Boob Hope singing 'Thanks for the Mammaries.'"

[OKSooner]

Where'd that come from?

[nmh]

Sounds to me like the "boys" were going a TAD TOO FAST to incur THESE kinds of injuries:

James Campbell, who was driving behind the girls, said he swerved to avoid the bra and his car flipped several times.

Campbell, 37, broke a vertebra in his neck during the accident on Sept. 26. His passenger, Jeff Long, 40, broke several ribs.

Did they get a ticket for driving too fast? Skid marks will tell you just how fast they were driving. Surely a flying bra would not cause someone to lose control of their car like this.

DAMN YOU!!!

Was it a Cup A Misdemeanor or Cup B Misdemeanor.

Oooops... I meant Class, not Cup.

I once had what seemed to be just a piece of plastic fly at me on the highway. It hit my windshield and blocked view. Fortunately I was able to pull off the road without an accident and remove it.
