Along came a spider..

A German woman was so shocked by a spider crawling across her face that she lost control of her car and crashed head on into a roadside tree, police in the western town of Rheine said on Thursday. The 23-year-old woman screamed and let go of the steering wheel, causing her small car to veer off the road into the tree. The car was totally destroyed but the woman escaped with only slight injuries, a police spokesman said. "She was shocked by the spider crawling on her face and lost control of her car," said the spokesman for the police in the small town near the Dutch border. The spider survived, he said. "He crawled out of the window." ...via
I tried to find this story in German for Wucinwug (translating is like hard work, for me :-)) in the German Google news, didn't find it, but there were loads of car accidents listed - is Rheine feeling the effects of the coffee shops? I have worked in Rheine and the high accident rate is probably due to the sleepy drivers who drive around after midday when all the shops have closed - mega yawn town.
