A pair of flying underpants has caused a crash on a German highway after landing on a driver's face and blocking his view, police say.
A police spokesman in the central town of Gotha said one of a group of naked men in a van threw the underwear into another vehicle 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," the spokesman said.
He added that he did not know why the men were driving along naked.
No-one was hurt in the crash but police are hunting the owner of the underpants for failing to stop at the scene.
