Young Aussie couple's lucky escape after 'ill-timed' kiss

A young couple have miraculously managed to walk away unscathed after the car they were travelling in crashed and rolled onto its side following an early morning 'ill-timed' kiss. The pair were travelling along Tapleys Hill Road in Glenelg North, a coastal suburb in Adelaide, at around 3:15am on Tuesday when the male passenger, 18, leant over and planted a smooch on the 25-year-old female driver.

However, she was attempting to change the song playing from the speakers at the time, the couple told police of the consequential moment. "Officers spoke to the couple, and it was revealed that the driver had become distracted while driving by an ill-timed kiss from the passenger while she was changing the music," police said.

The car subsequently rolled and crashed into street signs before it eventually landing on its side, close to a resident's fence. The pair were forced to clamber out of the vehicle and check themselves for injuries, finding none.

"[The] young couple were lucky to escape injury," police said.
