The Beer Shunter

Marija Andric

A truck carrying thousands of bottles of beer caused traffic chaos - when its driver hit a motorway signpost in Sattledt, Austria.

Police and firefighters closed the highway for four hours while they cleared more than 10,000 pints of lager, broken bottles and leaking kegs from the road.

Driver Walter Moser told police he had been checking if he'd missed his exit when he hit the sign.

"It was a real mess, there were 500 crates and as many barrels bursting and popping all over the place," said one firefighter.
