Flying underpants cause highway crash

By Reuters, 7/22/2003

BERLIN -- A pair of flying underpants caused a crash on a German highway
when they landed on a driver's face and blocked his view, police said.

A police spokesman in the central town of Gotha said one of a group of naked
men in a van Tuesday threw the underwear into a Volkswagen Passat as they
passed it on a busy stretch of one of Germany's notoriously speedy
autobahns. 

"The underpants landed on the driver's face, causing him to ram the truck
ahead from behind," said the spokesman, adding he did not know why the men
were driving naked.

No one was hurt in the crash, but police are hunting the owner of the
underpants for failing to stop at the scene.
