German's discarded lederhosen cause gridlock

A German caused a huge traffic jam after he threw his lederhosen out of the window during a row with his girlfriend.

The leather trousers landed on a tram line in the city of Augsburg where they shorted out the overhead electricity lines forcing trams to a halt, and blocking a main arterial road.

Police had to retrieve the garment with a crane and made the lederhosen owner pay for the operation.

A spokesman said: "He might also face a few compensation claims from angry motorists. The roads were blocked for a few hours. It was gridlocked."

The 30-year-old man has refused to comment on the case.
