A hapless driver attempted to transport a sofa on top of their car, only to have it fly off while navigating a roundabout.
The large charcoal grey sofa was seen precariously tied to the roof of a black Ford as it approached a roundabout in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, on May 27.
A single piece of string, which was securing the furniture to the vehicle, snapped as the car rounded the bend, causing the sofa to tumble to the ground amidst the rain.

A London-based passenger, who was following in another vehicle, captured the flying sofa on video and said that it was 'an accident waiting to happen'.
He said: 'Me and my wife were both in stitches.
'We were laughing so hard, I worried she might crash.
'It's a massive sofa with one tiny piece of string round it - what a clown.
'It was very funny but I did feel a bit sorry for him because it started raining very heavily, and there wasn't anywhere safe to stop and help him.'
