THIS is the incredible moment a priest who did not "have a care in the world" walked down the middle of a motorway after crashing his car.

Police said motorists swerved to avoid hitting the priest, who was wearing his garments, as he leisurely walked down the busy road carrying rosary beads.

Father Grzegorz Tomaszewski, 41, said he was looking for a petrol station to make a phone call to report the accident as he did not have a mobile on him.

Police in Switzerland said the priest started walking in one direction then seemed to get annoyed and threw his scarf on the road before heading back.

Driver Udo Maiers, 39, said: "He was carrying a rosary in his hands, and didn't seem to have a care in the world.

"Who knows, maybe it helped him because he certainly took a few risks wandering down the road as he did.

"He left the road eventually after he spotted a vineyard and he went in there where I understand he was found by the police."

A female driver said she called the police and told them there was a priest carrying a rosary walking down the middle of the motorway.

However, the motorist claimed that at first officers did not believe her.

Officials confiscated the licence of the Polish priest and said he had been involved in an accident on the A9 at Villeneuve.

Police added that the priest had probably walked a mile in total before he left the motorway.
