Klagenfurt gets a yellow brick road
A street in the Carinthian capital Klagenfurt got a streak of yellow after an accident on the Völkermarkter Straße left 7 cubic meters of corn scattered across the road.
The tractor pulling a trailer carrying the corn was involved in a collision which left it damaged – scattering the corn across the street.
Firemen used a digger to try and scoop up the corn but ended up spending a lot of it further along the street.
In the end local fireman used a high-pressure hose to blast the rest of the corn off the street and allow the traffic to continue again.
