A 26 year old girl was returning home from the local mall one day. This girl was an aspiring equestrian. She had turned down acceptance letters and scholarships alike to pursue her dream of someday training horses.

She was living with her father and mother as many young girls do. In addition to this, she was also living wit her her ex-boyfriend and current boyfriend under the same roof.

She left mall on a Friday evening at around 11:00 PM. Driving was her ex-boyfriend. Sitting with her in the back seat was her current boyfriend.

During the course of the return journey, the young girl had an altercation with her current boyfriend as to having been seperated from him in the mall. Tones grew harsher and tempers flared until she demanded that her ex-boyfriend pull over the car.

The car crept to a stop along the busy highway they were recently traveling. The girl then flung open her door and proceeded to navigate herself across the highway. She did so successfully and once on the other side, tried to hail a random car to take her home.

Both boys pleaded with her to return to the safety of their own four wheels. She eventually agreed, and on stepping on to the first lane of the highway, was slammed by an on-coming car, killing her instantly, and thereby removing her from the gene pool.

Police reported that no arrests were made, seeing as both boys were un-intoxicated and teh driver of the oncoming car simply did not act quick enough. Still, the police are still interested in getting a tox-screening on the girl.

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
The link: http://www.lohud.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051226/NEWS02/512260311/1018 Gadzooks, this is one dysfunctional love triangle! The victim was the progeny of surgeons, but she apparently took a swing at the Darwinian curve ball thrown her way, and hit a grand slam! FYI, I am familiar with the location of this accident (I-684, about an hour and change north of New York City) and can vouch for the fact that only the cream of idiocy would attempt to cross it once, much less twice...

Maybe Toss: Too Common
I'm not sure about this one. People getting killed while running across freeways (particularly at night) are a bit too common for a good award (IMO).

Maybe Toss: Too Common
I'm afraid I have to side with Jack: not only is this sort of thing too common in any event, it happens far too frequently when this sort of altercation is going on.

I'm going to go with the majority here. She did a very very stupid thing, but maybe it's too common ...
