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

The Idaho Statesman reports all five young people in the Ford Bronco were hurt in the crash Sunday and had to receive medical treatment. Authorities say two of the passengers were thrown from the vehicle, but none of the five suffered life-threatening injuries.

The Ada County Sheriff’s Office says 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 court date has not yet been set for Myers, who has no listed phone number.

I look at this and think "Kids are freaking dumb as hell now" then I start thinking about some of the dumbass things we used to do and wonder how in the hell am I not maimed or dead.

How can they charge the driver with inattentive driving from someone else lighting their armpit hair on fire which led to the accident? I'm not understanding that part.

That was my first thought as well. How attentive can we expect one to be whilst on fire?

We had a friend of the family whose son was riding in a car. He thought it would be funny to jerk on the emergency brake while on a twisty road. The driver lost control. The son ended up a paraplegic as a result of the crash, he was not wearing a seat belt.
