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.
