Megan Mariah Barnes, a 37-year-old Florida resident, was so excited to be meeting her boyfriend in Key West that she decided to use the travel time to do a little extra grooming.

But Ms. Barnes, cruising Highway 1 behind the wheel of her Ford Thunderbird, wasn’t applying extra lipstick or tweezing her eyebrows; she was preparing her bikini line by doing a little lady gardening.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Barnes' Thunderbird rammed a pickup truck causing minor injuries to the three passengers inside. Barnes, whose ex-husband was with her in the vehicle, drove about a half-mile past the accident scene, where it is alleged that she pulled over to switch places with her former hubby so that Barnes wouldn't appear to have been behind the wheel.
