Britney Had Cosmetic Damage Before Crash

Posted Apr 13th 2008 5:51PM by TMZ Staff

Minutes before Britney Spears caused a three car crash on a Saturday night, she was driving the same way most women in L.A. do -- putting on her makeup behind the wheel!

TMZ spoke with the guy she hit, who says before the accident, he was admiring the white Mercedes and the woman putting on makeup while driving it. It wasn't until after she hit him at an estimated 10-15 MPH that he realized the woman was Britney. The man also says he wasn't sure if she was still putting on makeup at the time of the crash.

After the smash up, Britney's bodyguard apologized for the incident, but Britney never got around to doing the same. Brit and the 21-year-old crashee only exchanged a few words, but she did mention she was on the way to dinner with her mom.

As far as the field sobriety test is concerned, the crashee says officers performed the ol' "follow my finger test" on Brit. At first she was giggly, but she got real serious real quick. BTW -- she was the only person involved who was tested. CHP claims the test was S.O.P. telling us, "We do a standard check on most drivers .... especially during those hours."

While no injuries were reported on the scene, the man claims that he woke up with a sore back this morning and is looking into booking an appointment with a chiropractor.

2. First off TMZ that is a stupid sexist statement about the make-up but since I am not from LA whatever. He woke up with a "backache" and is going to a chiropractor? Lawsuit!!!

4. I agree. The only reason to see a Chiropractor after an accident is for the purpose of a lawsuit. I see two years' worth of 'adjustments' to his back, maybe a neck collar for awhile and thousand$ of 'alternative health care' bills.

5. Of course this clown's back hurts, who'd expect anything less. Let me tell you chit for brains, sue Brit and karma will come all the way back around to you and live in your body. Don't ever forget this.

7. Why do people always rush out to the chiro after an njury/car accident. Go see an actual doctor people. A medical doctor, not a doctor of chriopractic medicine. All the chiro will do is give you some modalities (look it up) and prolbablly want to adjust you. And if this guy in the car doesn't have a lawyer you can bet this chiro willhave a few to refer him to. The only good thing about chiro's post accident is that your settlement check willbe bigger, cutting a doctor and treatment fee out. Terrible, freaking chiro's...

9. Let's not forget "pain and suffering"...."loss of days work for doctors appointments"......"mental anguish" (now he has a phobia of driving near people who look like Britney in the rear view mirror).....

10. a chiropractor is NOT the way to go.

CHIROPRACTORS ARE NOT DOCTORS.

he should go to an orthopedic doctor.

13. "TMZ spoke with the guy she hit, who says before the accident, he was admiring the white Mercedes and the woman putting on makeup while driving it. It wasn't until after she hit him at an estimated 10-15 MPH that he realized the woman was Britney. The man also says he wasn't sure if she was still putting on makeup at the time of the crash."

Should he not look at the road insted of persons in other cars?
Did he look at her at his rear-view mirror or was he driving beside and then in front of her, looking in the mirror and causing "the accidetn" himself???

14. Of course he's stiff. How ridiculous. Didn't they say they were in "stop and go traffic"? "10-15 miles per hour"? Puhleez! And if he was admiring the woman behind him so much who was supposed to be putting on makeup who's to say he hadn't already realized it was Britney and wasn't paying attention to the car in front of him? He probably slammed on his brakes to avoid the car in front of him and that's why there were 3 cars involved. Anyone think of that?

15. and to the poster who says that a GP is the doc to go to, not a chiropractor, BS! a GP can do nothing for you expect prescribe pills. a chiropractor can give you PT treatments & adjustments, if deemed necessary, have only helped me in the past. one should always wait, however, at least a week so any inflamation can decrease. and if a person already has previous neck & back problems, being rear-ended can only add to already existing pain.
