Authorities are seeking a jaywalking pigeon for questioning in connection with a triple car accident that occurred earlier this month in Russia.

Footage sourced from the dashboard camera of a vehicle parked on the side of a two-way street in the city of Rostov and which was obtained by YouTube user ‘Sveltana I’, shows the bird of interest clad in a grey costume crossing the road just before the crash happened.

“The bird was minding its own business, walking on the grass, before it made the decision to cross the road. A chivalrous driver in a Ford slowed down to let it pass, but he paid for it,” said Sveltana I.

Rostov authorities are asking for anyone with information on the accident or who may know the whereabouts of the pigeon to please contact their local enforcement agency.
