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.

49. babyluv, you must be a chiropractor or be married to one. You are so enamored of practitioners in this field. Chiropractors have caused permanent damage. Consider the following case reported in the Massachusetts Law Weekly:

"In June 1993, the plaintiff was in a minor motor-vehicle accident. Though she did not tell the defendant, the plaintiff's headaches had increased in severity from the date of the June 1993 accident until she next saw the defendant in August.

On Aug. 23, 1993, the defendant chiropractor examined the plaintiff and performed an adjustment on the plaintiff's neck without complication. The plaintiff returned for a repeat neck adjustment on Aug. 27, 1993. The plaintiff lay down on the examining table with the defendant at the plaintiff's head. He lifted the plaintiff's head forward and applied a thrust motion twisting the plaintiff's neck, an acceptable procedure in chiropractic medicine for treatment of headaches. The plaintiff became stuporous, vomited and quickly went unconscious. She sustained a stroke.

The plaintiff was rushed to the emergency room of Newton/ Wellesley Hospital where diagnostic films demonstrated that she had sustained a dissection in the intimal wall of the left vertebral artery just as it sharply turns at C-1. The dissection likely caused a clot to form at this juncture. Tails of the clot then likely broke off from the vertebral artery, traveled to the basilar artery and then bilaterally to numerous distant and narrower arterial branches. The clot fragments eventually became lodged in distal brain arteries causing decreasing blood flow and death to brain cells in diffuse brain areas including the thalamus and frontal lobes. The inevitable consequences were that the plaintiff sustained permanent damage in brain areas responsible for memory, cognition and emotions."

The case, needless to say, settled for several hundred thousand dollars.

59. To melody90405: that's the second-most preposterous Shift-The-Blame-Away-From-Britney rationale for this accident that I've heard so far. Number one is the assertion (in one of the other TMZ threads) that this happened because Britney's mom slept with K-Fed.

Wait a minute ... I've got it! This happened because K-Fed was driving the car in front of Britney, and Lynne Spears was also in the car, sleeping with him right then and there while they were going down the freeway. But at the moment when she asked,"is it in yet?", he lost his cool and slammed on the brakes, thereby causing the pile-up.

Then, when the cops arrived, Lynne slept with each and every one of them, plus with every other witness on the road, male and female alike, plus all of the paparazzi, to convince all of them not to put any of the blame on her or K-Fed.

Yep. That's it. Find a scapegoat so that Britney never has to take responsibility for anything she does ... _ever_ ...

60. Some 30 years ago, I stopped for a red traffic light - the driver behind me didn't notice and crashed into me. I went to my family doctor the next morning - when he realize I was there to see him because of an accident - he refused to examine me and kicked me out of his office. Several weeks later, assuming the back pain stuff was fake, I accepted 25 dollars from his insurance co - yes, just $ 25. After that, the small of my back ached for 2 years before all the pain was gone. I was foolish NOT to see a lawyer.
