Judge in fatal-crash trial rules bikini coming off was 'unforeseen emergency'

An American driver has been cleared of charges in a fatal crash after a court ruled she had faced “an unforeseen emergency” when one of her passengers untied her bikini top.

Brittany Lahm, 24, took her hands off the wheel to cover up while returning from a day at the beach in New York. Back seat passenger Brandon Berman, 19, who undid the bikini, was killed when the car hit a road barrier.
