Sheriff: Burned armpit hair led to Idaho car crash

Yahoo News

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A SUV full of teenagers crashed in Idaho after one of the passengers lit the driver’s armpit hair on fire with a lighter, authorities said Wednesday.

All five young people in the Ford Bronco were hurt in the crash Sunday and received medical treatment, the Ada County Sheriff’s Office said.

Two of the passengers, ages 15 and 16, were thrown from the vehicle, but none of the five suffered life-threatening injuries.  

The sheriff’s department said the rollover occurred after a 16-year-old boy was goofing off in the front seat and lit 18-year-old Tristian Myers’ armpit hair on fire while Myers was driving. The crash happened at about 5:30 a.m. in southeast Boise.

Deputies cited Myers with inattentive driving, while the 16-year-old was cited for interfering with the driver’s safety. The passenger’s name wasn’t released. A 17-year old also was in the front seat but was not cited.

Deputies also said none of the teens was wearing a seatbelt, and there was evidence Myers was driving too fast.

A court date will be scheduled later for Myers, who has no listed phone number. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.

  1. Think he’ll ever light some one’s underarm hair on fire while they are driving again? I think not. Funny, but extremely foolish!

  2. “The crash happened at about 5:30 a.m. in southeast Boise.”

    What were teenagers doing up at 5:30 in the morning on a Sunday?

  3. Boise is a city but young kids aren’t tweakin here…..probably drinkin at most….and yes BPD is phucked up….falling in well with obama’s thoughts
