Ananova:

Swiss police were called out to wake up a pensioner who fell asleep behind the wheel of his car while he waited at a red light.

Urs Maurer, 78, had stopped his car at traffic lights in Bottmingen but fell asleep as he waited for them to change to green.

Drivers behind him blowing their horns and banging on his window were unable to wake him and eventually called out police who managed to open his car doors.

He told officers he had just eaten a big lunch and had felt sleepy as he came to the traffic lights.

He has had his licence confiscated while police investigate.
