Happy ending to mysterious sofa collision
The strange case of furniture salesman Arvid Loeite's traffic collision with a disappearing sofa on highway E18 near Grimstad has been solved. The sofa's owner read the story in newspaper Agderposten and has explained what happened. Loeite claimed that his car had been damaged when a sofa blew off a passing truck and smashed into his vehicle, causing major damage. Loeite and his passenger escaped without injury.
Loeite coincidentally met a police patrol after stopping his car and reported the incident.
"I told them that I had been hit with a sofa. Their faces fell and they didn't know what to think. But they came back to the scene of the accident," Loeite said.
