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.
does it make sense this girl would just toss a bra out? That is ridiculous.
These guys wanted it, and they got it.
That's just plain mean!!!!
Candy money...
Why would you swerve to miss a bra? I mean, a couch I can understand but can't you tell that it's fabric flapping through the air towards you and not a danger to you in any way?? Crazy.
One more vote!
Kinda obvious, actually.
Geez! How big was it?
"What she's wearing now?"
Ever been a teenaged girl, or do you have any daughters? This is well within the realm of what a teen girl would do, especially these days.
These guys wanted it, and they got it.
IF the guys saw it was a bra and wanted it, they could have just stopped and picked it up. They swerved because they saw 'something' fly toward them.
My vote is they were speeding trying to catch up with the half naked girls.
"Cars don't typically over turn when you swerve."
Wanna bet? A car can overturn easily if the tire catches on the edge of the pavement and you jerk the wheel too hard to get it back on the road. Usually they will roll and land in the ditch on the other side of the road.
How long did you sleep on the couch for THAT one? :)
My guess is she flashed him and he broke his neck trying to get a better look.
This story makes little sense. The girls say the men were motioning them to show their breasts (pigs). The girl, while they are driving down the highway (?), takes off her bra and leans out to hook it around the antenna (idiot). The bra then goes flying.
Sounds to me like none of them were paying nearly enough attention to driving and I'm glad I wasn't on the road with any of these morons.
fixed it for ya.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
I NEVER sleep on the couch. I am master in my house.
I used the recliner
Misdemeanor?
Sex is a misdemeanor...the more you miss
da meaner ya get!
