Topless girl not responsible for deadly car crash
 |
| Brittany Lahm was found not responsible for a car crash because one of the passengers in the car untied her bikini top. |
A bikini clad driver who lost control and crashed her car — killing a passenger who undid her bikini top — was found not responsible for the collision because her sudden exposure was, “a sudden and unforeseen emergency not of her own making,” a Brooklyn appeals court has ruled.

| Brandon Berman died in the 2008 car crash. |
That’s when the packed car swerved off of the highway and crashed – killing Berman, court papers state.
One of the surviving passengers sued Lahm over his own injuries but a Rockland County jury said she was not negligent in the crash and the Brooklyn appeals court upheld their decision.
Dissenting members of the court described Berman’s behavior to the crash, arguing that Lahm should have pulled over the car to deal with his distracting and dangerous behavior – rather than continuing on at 65 miles per hour.
“The evidence at trial established that, prior to the accident, Brandon engaged in a course of distracting conduct, including spitting chewing tobacco out the window, opening an umbrella inside the vehicle, leaning halfway out of the window, and using the umbrella to clean the tobacco off the exterior of the vehicle,” the decision read.
