Train Wrecks
Britney Had Cosmetic Damage Before Crash

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.

repeatedly viewing her highway crash pictures..

34. This will bring up the allegation towards the other driver that he step on his brake quickly to cause her to hit his car. I say this because why was he checking out the other driver behind him , did he know it was britney ??

35. Her father is obviously doing a poor job in allowing her to drive when she/he has the money to hire an expert sane driver. Why would he let her drive and kill herself and others? $$$
It's the cop's fault for postponing her driving hearing. This is insane, of all things not corrected, that Britney is still driving. Anyone that has to be hauled off in an ambulance all the time, shouldn't be driving.

36. Of course he is goimg to try to get $$$, its a lawsuit nation unfortunately!! I also agree with an earlier post about your story being sexist and I am a man. Also give it up about Britney, things seem to be geting better for her, things are looking up for her, she even looks better than she has in a long time. MUST you always have to report on things negatively?? It was a fender bender at the most, no big deal. Leave her alone for gods sake and move on!! Your site is always the same old same old!! Can't you do better than this? You get to be boring, maybe TMZ's15 minutes of fame is over??

37. pork chop honey bum..the fat has gone to your head, causing a fat stupid close minded brain..if there is one! an orthopedic doc cannot help to re-align a neck or spine. a chiropractor can. sure, some chiropractors have caused more damage than good, but how many orthopedic docs have screwed up back & neck surgery causing permanent damage..paralysis, etc.?

a chiroproctor can administer physical thearpy, accupuncture, & adjustments that only help. i am talking from not only my positive experience, where i had 2 serious accidents back to back & after seeing a ortho for quite some time without any positive results, i finally went to a chiropractor & after a serious of treatment i got better & better to where i was pain & discomfort free. this was also true for 99.9% of many people that i know who have turned to chiroproctors with only positive results.

you do not have to be an M.D. to know what you are doing. Chiropractors go to school for extensive training, they graduate,
& yes, are legally called Doctors.

so stuff you CHOPS with that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

38. What a idiot he probably cause the accident by not looking in front of him.. 10-15 MPH right probably more like 5-10 I know that road and it always backs up and is very slow. FYI they have your license plate on x17. lol LOSER!

Posted at 8:14PM on Apr 13th 2008 by what a loser

39. Hey Brit, print the pictures off of TMZ and give them to your Attorney. It looks like you have NO MAKE-UP on to me.

40. The injured driver should sue her father for letting her drive. If she can drive, she shouldn't need a conserverhip. Either she's competent, or incompetent. Daddy, rent a race track or parking lot if you want your incompetent duaghter to drive.
IT'S OBVIOUS THE INJURED DRIVER HAD TO BREAK, SINCE THE WRECK CAUSED HIM TO CRASH IN THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM. The reason Britney is a spoiled brat, is from fans who idolize trash like her

41. Posted at 6:49PM on Apr 13th 2008 by melody90405 ... "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?"

Posted at 7:18PM on Apr 13th 2008 by Ace ..."It sounds to me like the 21 year old was too busy looking in his rear view mirror and caused a chain reaction accident."

Posted at 7:22PM on Apr 13th 2008 by just me ... "Maybe if the guy she hit would have been focused on the traffic ahead instead of being focused on his rear-view mirror and admiring the white Mercedes behind him and the woman driving it he would not have had to slam on the brakes and cause Britney to bump him."


NEWS FLASH!!!! BRITNEY IS STILL THE ONE LEGALLY AT FAULT! Read your driver's manual, people. Even if the guy in front of her slammed on his brakes, if he did not hit the car in front of him, then he had his vehicle under control. The "hitter" not the "hittee" is the one at fault, and while I feel for Britney, she is the one who caused the accident. She was supposed to maintain enough distance that she could bring her car to a sudden stop if the guy in front of her slammed on his brakes.

42. WRONG AGAIN BONEBRAIN.

CHIROPRACTORS ARE NOT LEGALLY DOCTORS.

ARE YOU SURE THE ONLY THING YOU HURT IN THOSE ACCIDENTS WAS YOUR BACK ?

SPEND LESS TIME ON TMZ, AND MORE TIME DOING SOME RESEARCH NITWIT.

43. What makes me laugh is Britney has been doing very well in her life and the paps were going crazy dropping to their knees praying that Britney would make a mistake and that they would be there. Britney, they were never your friends, just a bunch of freaks acting like leeches waiting for blood or in your case opportunity for a money shot. Dad, take the keys and hire a driver.

44. Babyluv,

45. Britney deserves a 2008 Mercedes like Elvis "deserved" his black belt. I wouldn't trust her in a Yugo.... .
