Woman changing while driving triggers wreck

A woman who was changing clothes during her drive to work Wednesday afternoon lost control and triggered a five-car collision that snarled traffic on S.C. 90 for more than an hour.

Three of the five drivers involved were taken to Grand Strand Regional Medical Center, state troopers said.

Conway resident Marie Butler, 20, who police say caused the crash, was in surgery late Wednesday, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Winford Hardee, 65, was being evaluated in the emergency room, and 32-year-old Phil Graham was treated and released.

The crash occurred when Butler drove her car off the shoulder of S.C. 90 and overcorrected to get back on the road, said Lance Cpl. Tony Love of the S.C. Highway Patrol.

Butler's eastbound 1998 Pontiac crossed the center line and glanced the side of the 1994 pickup Hardee was driving westbound.

Her car then collided head-on with Graham's 1993 Jeep and caused it to flip.

A car traveling east behind Butler was struck by her car after the head-on crash, and a fifth car in the westbound lane slid into Graham's overturned vehicle.

The crash is still under investigation, Love said.

Shouldn't that be "Hold muh bra"?

"Dang, honey, some nekkid chick just ran me off the road, an' wrecked my truck!"

ok, that's a hold-my-beer alert.

I don't know which I would have more problems with - the wife, or the insurance company.

Don't worry about the wife.  Introduce
her to Lance Cpl Love!

well,,,when a girl needs to change into something more comfortable a little traffic doesn't get in her way. What a bimbo!!

Hey ... I resemble that remark! It was the nicest thing anyone said all day.

From the headline, I was expecting a story in which a male driver with eyes agog caused the accident, when milady expertly did her brassiere with her left hand and teeth while driving daintily with the right hand.

Well, while she's in surgery, I hope they insert a brain. $$###@

Ditto. The best I ever say was a woman stuck on the LIE changing from a skirt to pants. She was fine untill she pushed her leg to far and hit the accelerator.

Back in the '80s my wife and I had over an hour commute from a suburb into Houston to work. One morning a pick-up entered the road in front of us. We were following it. It became obvious that the woman driving was in her night clothes. She began changing. We followed her for over a half-hour because it was so interesting. We even saw her put on panty hose. The last thing she did was put on all her make-up and comb her hair. I would have never guessed it could be done.

I do that occasionaly, but I'm careful not to be too obvious about it.

[sweetliberty]

Pants are too hard to do while driving. Shirts are relatively easy.

Truckers must love you!

[sweetliberty]

LOL! I'm especially careful to avoid truckers! Does this mean I can't give you guys a hard time about FReeping nekkid any more?

[StoneColdGOP]

Leave it to a woman...

Here in L.A., it's a "Hold ma cellphone" alert.

I would reword that if I were you, someone may take it the wrong way...

[Consort]

It's a misinterpretation of the term "changing lanes".

[sweetliberty]

I think if I say anything more I am liable to misinterpreted far worse. Imagination is a wonderful thing and FReepers are full of it....hehehe. Okay, I guess that could be taken in more ways than one too.

Remember when it used to be "Honk if you're reloading"?
Or "Don't shoot, I'm pedalling as fast as I can"?
To this day, when someone pulls up alongside of me,
I get nervous.
