Man barbecues car by mistake

GermanyKaiserslautern, Germany  - A man barbecued his own car by mistake, following a mishap at a grill party in southern Germany, police said Sunday.

A friend standing next to him panicked and dropped the cannister containing the petrol, causing it to ignite and spill on to the man's car parked below.
