Teen to face littering charge after bra flies off antenna
The Columbus Dispatch ^ | October 13, 2006

Posted on 10/13/2006 9:56:43 AM PDT by flutters

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.

It's difficult to determine responsibility in this story without pictures.

My guess is the girls are telling the truth. The guys were thinking with their d!cks, and they rolled the car because they were paying attention to the girls instead of the road. It sure as hell wouldn't be the first time that's happened.

I thought Sue Ellen Mitchke didn't wear a bra? Wasn't that the reason Elaine hated her?

Where'd that come from?

Seinfeld episode "The Caddy"

George and Cramer wind up getting into a car accident shortly after they see Elaine's "friend" wearing the new gift Elaine got for her.

"Campbell, 37, broke a vertebra in his neck during the accident on Sept. 26..."

He actually suffered the broken neck while trying to to sneak a peek into the girls' car after the accident.

Now, who thinks the driver swerved to catch it?

Oh man, I can't laugh anymore! One vote here.

Now I remember... Elaine hated her for not wearing a bra then she sent her a bra as a spiteful gift and Sue Ellen became the talk of the town wearing it as a top L0L

Two guys were hurt pretty bad. Not sure why you would find that funny.

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

If the thing flew off the antenna, and the guy just saw something fly through the air and hit the road, his natural reaction would be to swerve. It's human nature.

"Surely a flying bra would not cause someone to lose control of their car like this."

He probably was looking at the bra and drove off the edge of the pavement. Then he jerked the wheel to drive back onto the pavement and flipped the car. Easy thing to do and you don't need to be speeding.

What was he driving? An SUV? Cars don't typically over turn when you swerve.

The boobs in the first car went free, but the boobs in the second car paid the price.
