Lovers Left Red-faced
A local man from Selfoss on a quiet evening stroll was surprised to find a truck belonging to a fellow local lit-up and parked in an isolated area. When the owner arrived to turn off the lights, he was surprised to find a pair of lovers in the seat of the vehicle making love, who in the heat of the moment hit the light switch by accident.
Upon getting caught, they escaped in different directions sheltered by the night as they got dressed.
However, the owner of the truck was happy to discover the truck started at first go and that the lights had not drained the battery, mbl.is reports.

Whole herds of the wild horned animals rest peacefully on withered pastures, grace next to sheep and horses and bounce along the road. Soon, Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier and the region’s biggest attraction, comes into view.
