A 19-year-old Texas A&M University student was arrested on Wednesday night.
For being an all-time idiot, basically.
According to the Bryan Police Department, Miranda Rader got drunk this week… got behind the wheel of a car… snapped a topless selfie for her boyfriend… and then crashed into a police cruiser.
The accident took place near the university, approximately 100 miles northwest of Houston, and was serious enough that the airbag in Rader’s car deployed.
Police said that when the officer whose vehicle had been hit approached Rader, she was attempting to put her blouse back on.
“I asked her why she was not dressed while driving and she stated she was taking a Snapchat photo to send to her boyfriend while she was at a red light,” the arresting officer wrote in an affidavit.
Rader was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and released on a bond of $ 2,000, police said.
But this story actually gets better.
Or a lot worse, if you’re Miranda Rader…
In July, Rader shared a link on her Facebook page to a news story about a Texas teenager who was killed that month in a drunken driving accident.
The headline of the story said the family of the 18-year old killed in the crash hoped that others would learn from the tragic fate of their son.
This is more ironic than rain on your wedding day or plastic spoons when all you need is a knife.
But it’s also downright sad, scary and disturbing, considering how strongly Rader did NOT heed the sage words of this poor victim’s parents.
Rader is a freshman at Texas A&M University who hails from Austin.
She was released Thursday morning after posting $ 2,000 bail and is yet to comment on this scandalous behavior for the public.
It’s also unknown when she is scheduled to be be in court.
But we really hope she’s wearing a shirt for the judge.
The family of the 18-year-old West Austin victim, Jack Cloudt, talked to KEYE-TV about their son’s crash in an effort to help others learn from his tragic death.
