Divine intervention saved a speeding driver from getting a ticket, after a pigeon photo-bombed a traffic enforcement camera at just the right moment.
Police in Viersen, western Germany, said: "The Holy Ghost must have had a plan" to help the driver.
Just as the radar clocked the driver at 54 km/h in a 30km/h zone and the camera flashed, the pigeon flew in front of the car, obscuring the face of the driver.
With its wings spread the necessary evidence of who was at the wheel could not be deduced.
Police say "thanks to the feathered guardian angel," the driver was spared a 105 euro ($168) fine but should take it as "a sign from above" to slow down.
