You’ve probably heard the old superstition about holding your breath through a tunnel for good luck — or maybe you play it as a game with your family.
I know I’ve attempted to not breathe for fun if going through a short tunnel with friends.
But I would never try to hold my breath until I passed out — which is exactly what this teen did in Oregon Sunday. Daniel Calhoun, 19 of Snohomish, Washington, was driving his Toyota Camry into a tunnel when he decided to hold his breath — and then fainted.
He crossed the center line and crashed head-on into a Ford Explorer, causing both vehicles to crash into the tunnel wall. This made another vehicle also crash into the Camry. Calhoun and three others were injured, at least one seriously.
Calhon is charged with reckless driving, three counts of recklessly endangering another person and assault in the fourth degree, according to USA Today.
“Don’t play games on our roads,” Oregon State Police said in a post on Twitter.
