We’ve talked before about public hook ups and how they can be a fun and exhilarating diversion from your normal in-bed-under-the-covers-with-the-lights-off nookie. However, one couple broke a cardinal rule of car sex: don’t leave the car running in a parking garage!

Couple Keith Payton and Salina Johnson were found dead in a car in a Pennsylvania parking garage this week after allegedly dying from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Via NY Daily News:

Cops think Keith Payton and Salina Johnson, both 40, were fatally overcome by fumes as they made out with the engine still running.

The partially clothed pair was found in the Williamsport lock-up at 9:30 p.m. Friday by Payton’s brother.
But police think they had driven into the garage the previous evening.

The Patriot-News reports that extremely high levels of carbon monoxide were detected.

The ignition was still on but the car had run out of fuel, as had a kerosene heater.

Marijuana and drug paraphernalia were also found in the car, said an Old Lycoming Township police report.

Note to all frisky drivers out there – turn the car off before you get down and dirty – and DEFINITELY don’t do it on the freeway.

Rest in peace, Keith and Salina.
