Switcheroo: Honorable Mention

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A young man and a young woman, for reasons as yet unknown, attempted to switch seats while in a motor vehicle traveling and full speed on 27 July 2013 in Ionia County, Michigan, USA. The problem is that the 22-year-old man was driving at the time. The 20-year old woman managed to make it behind the wheel of the car but failed to get the vehicle under control before slamming at full speed into a tree. The man was severely injured and the woman less so. Alcohol or drugs may not have been factors in the accident, but stupidity certainly was!

While we usually toss stories involving car crashes with passengers, it's pretty obvious that both of these dolts were equally responsible for ultimately crashing the car. What idiocy. Thanks, James!
