A pigeon in Russia caused a three car smash when it landed on a busy road and refused to fly away.
The crash was captured on another car's dashboard camera - showing not only the aftermath but also the culprit.
In the moments leading up to the collision, the pigeon can be seen on the pavement, before deciding to march headfirst into two-way traffic.
