College student smashed into police car while sending topless selfie to boyfriend



A student crashed into a parked police car while she was allegedly sending her boyfriend a topless selfie.

Miranda Rader, was also allegedly found with an open bottle of wine in a cup holder next to her, police said.

Police officer John Sartell was responding to a call and had left his patrol vehicle parked at the side of the road with the emergency lights on.

The accident took place on Wednesday, near the Texas A&M University about 100 miles northwest of Houston.

Officer Sartell said: “"I heard the sound of a vehicle braking hard and heard what sounded like a vehicle collision.”

When he went to investigate he saw that a grey car had ploughed into the rear of his vehicle.

The officer said as he approached the car he saw the 20-year-old wearing an unclasped bra and attempting to put her blouse on.

"I asked her why she was not dressed while driving and she stated that she was taking a Snapchat photo to send to her boyfriend while she was at a red light," the officer from Bryan, Texas, added.

Her crime was DWI, not being topless. The media's war on women continues.

She's being rightfully ridiculed for doing something incredibly stupid.

..... probably a good idea not to take a topless selfie while drunk-driving, causing you to crash into a cop car. Just my two cents, there.

She's lucky she just ran into a parked car of any type and not a human being whose life she could have ended or ruined.

Parents need to have a stern conversation with their children about not taking topless selfies while driving drunk.

I never got that talk; it's a miracle this never happened to me.

Oh wait, there was no such thing as "selfies" when I was that age.

generally not the topless variety.

Fortunately the officer was away from his cruiser.
