A naked sunbather's efforts to achieve an all-over tan have been blamed for a traffic pile up in the Austrian capital of Vienna.
The nude woman was seen with her bare legs dangling from a third storey window. It's an image and story that has since gone viral.
Motorist Michael Kineast was on the scene. He reported: "I was behind two guys who had a fender bender because the motorists in front took their eyes off the road to glance up at the view.
"The young woman was obviously keen on getting some sun in a place where it doesn’t usually shine."
But the collision didn't seem to cause much of a fuss for the motorists in question. Witness Kineast went on: "I heard the guy who was rear-ended shout to the motorist who had hit him: 'Didn't you look where you were supposed to be going?'
"The driver who hit him said: 'Sorry, I was distracted,' and pointed up to the window where the woman was lying. The guy who was hit then said: 'Oh, right, I see what you mean'."
By the time that the police arrived, the arresting sight had vanished inside her apartment and closed the windows.
