Driver with nude passenger cited for running red light

SEMINOLE — A driver distracted by a naked woman in her back seat ran a red light and caused a five-car wreck.

No one was seriously injured in the July 21 pileup, although at least one person was taken to Bayfront Medical Center.

A 2003 Acura driven by Teah L. Limitone, 22, was travling north in the middle lane of Seminole Boulevard about 8 p.m. She ran the light at Seminole and Park Boulevard and hit a 2000 Saturn that was trying to turn left from Park onto Seminole Boulevard. The Saturn spun 180 degrees.

The Acura, still headed north, was pushed into the southbound lanes on Seminole. The Acura slid between two cars that were in the southbound turn lanes on Seminole and then hit a fourth vehicle before stopping.

"There was a naked female in the back seat," Pinellas County sheriff's spokesman Jim Bordner said. "She was changing clothes in the back seat."

Bordner said Limitone told the deputy she heard a moan or a groan and turned to see if the passenger, Ayla Gabriel, was all right. That's when she ran the light.

Limitone was cited for running a red light. She could not be reached for comment Friday, but when called, a woman who identified herself as Mrs. Limitone declined to comment. Gabriel could not be reached Friday.

"I am pretty sure that if it was a man driving, he would be in serious hot water." No, it it had been a male, he'd be doing 101.5 MPH and killed everyone while turning totally around to watch the girl in the back seat...and then blamed it on her.

You guys just don't know when to laugh.

Yet another example of a woman doing something stupid behind the wheel that has affected many others, only to get a slap on the wrist. I am pretty sure that if it was a man driving, he would be in serious hot water.

Nobody was hurt, and police have asked naked passengers to refrain from moaning too loudly. I’ll be sure to let mine know that tomorrow at the car pool.

things like this NEVER happen to me. I can't remember the last time a woman was naked in my back seat. It had to be high school.

This person was "distracted" ran a red light and hit 4 innocent people who, fortunately, weren't hurt. Seems like this story is focusing on the wrong thing!!!

somehow this is going to be blamed on obama

You know ok this girl causes a wreck because something was going on in the car but how many wrecks have been caused by CELL PHONES....you never seen them noted in the news...but oh wait this story was turned around because it was very close to porn

Nice call Jack, her Sheriff's dept records are certainly entertaining. And Mikey is right, what was up with the quick change routine in the back seat. I think Dave Barry said it best: Florida is the armpit of America. Still the Freak State.

This is newswworthy? I guess not too much goes on in the "Fossil State".

I, too, am laughing like crazy!!! I am a nudist, and find this anecdote rather humorous! LOL!

by Gilbert	Aug 4, 2008 3:26 PM
Look...it was mobile art! Can you not understand that she was expressing herself? EYE sure can, without the photos although that would've helped!

by Mike	Aug 4, 2008 3:21 PM
Typical Florida behavior. What a joke. Who cares?

by cia	Aug 4, 2008 3:21 PM
In my opinion, You won't want this lady in your house!Public record: name Ayla Gabriel under Pinellas cty jls, 6x felon includes thief (stealing clthes, 2x dui under age 21, 1 dui was a misdmr??? In my opinion these 2 ladies weren't up to anything..

by bloom	Aug 4, 2008 3:12 PM
probably could not wait to try on stolen clothes, she's a professional thief at this point.

Original story for running a red light.

by Rocky	Aug 4, 2008 2:41 PM
I checked the who is in jail site on Ayla and noticed something. All of her arrests are on her Birthday. Maybe she shouldn't party so hard on the birthday..

by David	Aug 4, 2008 2:40 PM
When one is ashamed of the "bod"-changing cloths no big deal-there is nothing for anyone to see as if someone wanted to see her butt anyway. Sad-undressing for tricking enroute to the buyer's location. Smart no? Saved cab fare = more $$$ for services

by jon	Aug 4, 2008 1:31 PM
if the driver was her mother as girl said how come the driver was 22 and the neked girl was 21?

by Debbie	Aug 3, 2008 11:24 AM
I am laughing so hard here! Sounds jsut like the Florida I just left behind.....maybe I should have stayed...there laughs are better....

by Jack	Aug 3, 2008 11:24 AM
Nudity is the least of the passenger's issues. Check out the Pinellas Sheriff web site under who is in jail under the name Ayla Gabriel. Public records are a bitch ! "Good job" to the Times reporter.

by MJeezy	Aug 3, 2008 11:24 AM
Wow, learn how to read.The chick was changing. Ive changed in my friends car and it doesn't make me a lesbian. The girl was just distracted, hence the crash. Why do people always assume the negative. Even if they are lesbians, leave them alone!

by girl	Aug 3, 2008 11:23 AM
Mrs. Limitone is her mother, you creeps.

by mikey	Aug 3, 2008 11:23 AM
Ayla Gabriel has an extensive arrest record for a 21 year old, DUI, Grand theft, criminal mischief. I wonder what was really going on in that car.

by frankie	Aug 3, 2008 8:58 AM
Let me guess the windows were dark tinted like 60% of the vehicles in Florida. Is it possible the woman were having sex and Nude lady moved to the back seat to create her cover story.Maybe her husband knows or doesn't know. There are many Bi women.

by Happy Limitone	Aug 3, 2008 8:58 AM
Maybe she was bringing her home to share ;)

by Danno	Aug 3, 2008 8:58 AM
This story is worthless without photos

by Ted W.	Aug 3, 2008 8:58 AM
It's always good to hear about naked women in the back of a car -- even when they wreck.

by jamie	Aug 3, 2008 8:58 AM
I thought public nudity was illegal...this is a grey area since she was in the car..is that public or private.

by Damon	Aug 3, 2008 8:58 AM
So awesome it made Fark.com If I had seen the nekkid girl, I'd have wrecked my car too.

by Martin	Aug 3, 2008 8:58 AM
So, why was there a naked girl in the car? Isn't that on people's minds?

by Moe marsh	Aug 3, 2008 8:58 AM
I dont see what the big deal is, After all we're all naked in the eyes of the Lord

by Marty S.	Aug 2, 2008 11:04 PM
Slow news day, eh?

by Don	Aug 2, 2008 11:04 PM
I bet Mr. Limitone was happy his wife had a nude girl in her car.
