A SUV full of teenagers crashed in Idaho in September after one of the passengers lit the driver’s armpit hair on fire with a lighter, authorities said.
All five young people in the Ford Bronco were hurt in the crash 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.
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.
