    July 16 (UPI) -- The Washington State Patrol said a driver polled over for speeding in the high-occupancy vehicle lanes had a surprise in her back seat -- her passenger was a mannequin bust.

    The WSP said on social media that a trooper stopped the car on southbound Interstate 5, near South 272nd Street, for going 80 mph in a 60 mph zone.

    Officials said the woman was traveling in the HOV lane, but her only passenger turned out to be a mannequin bust propped up on a cooler and disguised with a jacket.

    "The driver said this is her training aid and the reason it was positioned this way was to properly dry the hair," the WSP wrote.

    The driver was released with a speeding ticket.
