A SUV full of teenagers crashed in Idaho after police say one of the passengers lit the driver's armpit hair on fire with a lighter.
Authorities say all five teenagers needed medical treatment after the prank resulted in a rollover that ejected two girls from the vehicle, none of the five suffered life-threatening injuries.
The accident happened 5:30 a.m. Sunday morning when the front seat passenger thought it would be funny to light the driver’s armpit hair on fire with a lighter, according to the Ada County Idaho Sheriff's Office.
Two girls, ages 15 and 16, were thrown from the back seat. The other two passengers, two boys ages 16 and 17, and Tristian Myers, the driver stayed in the Ford Bronco during the accident.
Myers told the police he swerved to avoid hitting an animal and lost control of the vehicle.
However after authorities spoke to all five teens, the real story came out. Both Myers and the passenger in the front seat later confessed to what happened.

Police say the driver was speeding and none of them were wearing a seatbelt.
"There was also evidence Myers was going too fast and driving erratically prior to the crash, which led to citation for inattentive driving," authorities said.
Myers was charged with inattentive driving and the front seat passenger was charged with distracting the driver.
The passenger's name wasn't released because he is a minor. A court date will be scheduled at a later date for Myers.
