Authorities say a New Jersey woman told them she was carjacked to cover up the fact that her car crashed because she was having sex.

The 23-year-old had initially told police she got lost on Sunday and asked a man for directions. Police say she told them the man pulled her out of the car at gunpoint and threw her to the ground.

Police say she later admitted she picked up a man and let him drive, and the car crashed into a tree while they were engaged in a sex act.

Officers say the car had been set on fire.

The woman is accused of filing a false police report. She has refused to identify the man.
