A bloodied body caused a fright in an Austrian motorway rest
area on Tuesday morning, before police raised it again from the
dead.
Passers-by alerted the authorities at dawn that a body covered
in blood lay in a rest area off the Tauern motorway near
Salzburg.
As it turned out, the "zombie" was just a drunken young man in a
Halloween costume and his face covered in fake blood, sleeping it
off in his car, police said in a statement.
The 23-year-old driver in the living dead costume had stopped at
the rest area after he damaged a tyre and could not continue on his
way.
He had his licence suspended for drunk driving.
