Woman Crashes While Shaving Bikini Area

MYFOX NATIONAL - Florida Highway Trooper Gary Dunick was not surprised when he came to the scene of a car crash caused by a woman who was distracted shaving her bikini line reports KeysNews.com .

Dunick has had some crazy experiences pulling over drivers but said “If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have believed it. About 10 years ago I stopped a guy in the exact same spot ... who had three or four syringes sticking out of his arm. It was just surreal and I thought, 'Nothing will ever beat this.' Well, this takes it.”

Megan Mariah Barnes, a 37-year-old woman, caused a car crash when she had her ex-husband take the wheel from the passenger seat while she shaved her bikini area.

Barnes was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and told authorities she wanted to be “ready for the visit” reports WJZ.com .

According to KeysNews.com , Barnes crashed into the back of a 2006 Chevrolet Truck. The passenger was David Schoff who had slowed down to make a right hand turn when Barnes' 1995 Thunderbird hit it at 45 mph which was within the speed limit.

FHP spokesman Alex Annunziato said that Barnes then allegedly drove a half mile further down the road where she switched seats with her ex-husband Charles Judy so that it looked like she had not been driving.

Dunick said that Judy had burns from the passenger side air bag that proved he had not been in the driver’s seat. The air bag in the driver’s seat had not deployed.

Barnes should not have been driving in the first place. The day before the accident, she had been convicted and sentenced to nine months of probation for DUI and driving with a suspended license. Her license was revoked for five years and she was to have taken her car to be impounded reports KeysNews.com .

If Barnes is convicted, she could face a maximum sentence of a year in jail for violating her probation due to the wreck.

Dunick says, “My phone has been ringing off the hook all day, and I know there's a funny side to this, but it's also deadly serious. This is a scary road and a lot of bad wrecks are caused by dumb stuff like this. It is unbelievable. I'm really starting to believe this stuff only happens in the Keys.”
