Sex and Cars don't mix

Darwin/Wendy says, "This submission topic, DEATH BY SEX, is TOO COMMON and also not current news.."


ORIGINAL SUBMISSION:

31-year-old Amanda Notebaert had been out drinking with her husband, Matthew Notebaert, 34, near their Florida home in March 2014 when the couple decided to have sex during the drive home. Matthew wasn't able to fully concentrate on the road while doing the deed and the car hit the canal bank "so hard... the SUV went airborne for 30 feet."

The car had been doing 55 in a 30 mile per hour zone, and Matthew's alcohol levels were almost twice the legal limit. Amanda died after her head hit the dashboard and windshield.

It's been a long time since I heard of someone pulling this category of stupid. Thank you.

Considering the two of them were actively involved in causing the accident we certainly can't call either of them a hurt bystander, as we often do when there are innocent passengers in a car crash. Thanks, John.
