Spider causes accident

Fri 9th Apr, 2010

Munich. Unbelievably, a spider caused yet another accident in Munich.

On Thursday evening at 10 o'clock, a twenty-nine year old woman from Garmisch-Partenkirchen was driving her VW along the Leopoldstraße, close to Potsdamerstraße, when she noticed a spider in her car. She was so distracted by the small arachnid that she drove into a traffic island, hitting a traffic sign and a traffic light.

Luckily the driver and spider were not injured. The spider was later caught by the police and released on the nearby grass.

This is the second accident that was caused by a spider within a few weeks: on the 18th of march a Mercedes driver became so petrified by a spider, that she crashed her car.
