During a speed check, the police in North Rhine-Westphalia flashed a senior citizen with a walking frame. The speed camera was triggered because a van was traveling at 42 km/h in a 30 km/h zone in the district of Euskirchen, as the police reported on Instagram. "But just at the crucial moment, a senior citizen walked through the picture with her walking frame and involuntarily created a real cult photo."

Both the pedestrian and the driver continued on their way unimpressed. "The driver should actually have thanked the woman," said a spokesperson for the district police. The license plate of the car had been obscured by the rollator, so that the driver got away scot-free.
