'Naked' Women Killed Driving Wrong Way M5 Crash
A WOMAN driver who died in an horrific 'wrong-way' motorway smash was NAKED in her car, it emerged today.
Rescuers say she was driving into oncoming traffic on the M5 when she collided with four vehicles.
And witnesses revealed that she was undressed behind the wheel of her blue Ford Ka.
The woman, who has not been named, died at the scene on the southbound carriageway near Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset at 12.30am on Saturday.
Her car was hit by two other vehicles before it stopped - then two more ploughed into it.
One rescuer said: She was naked. And she was thrown out of the car by the impact.
The police are trying to find out why she was in that state and what led her to drive the wrong way down the motorway.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset police said: It was involved in separate collisions with two vehicles and was left stationary when it was hit by two more vehicles.
Unfortunately the driver of the Ford Ka, a woman in her late twenties or early thirties, died at the scene.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Sir Arthur Charles Clarke (16 December 1917 – 19 March 2008) was a British science fiction writer, science writer and futurist, inventor, undersea explorer, and television series host.
He is famous for being co-writer of the screenplay for the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, widely considered to be one of the most influential films of all time. Clarke was a science writer, who was both an avid populariser of space travel and a futurist of uncanny ability. On these subjects he wrote over a dozen books and many essays, which appeared in various popular magazines. In 1961 he was awarded the Kalinga Prize, an award which is given by UNESCO for popularising science. These along with his science fiction writings eventually earned him the moniker Prophet of the Space Age. His other science fiction writings earned him a number of Hugo and Nebula awards, which along with a large readership made him one of the towering figures of science fiction. For many years Clarke, Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov were known as the Big Three of science fiction.Clarke was a lifelong proponent of space travel. In 1934, while still a teenager, he joined the British Interplanetary Society. In 1945, he proposed a satellite communication system using geostationary orbits. He was the chairman of the British Interplanetary Society from 1946–47 and again in 1951–53.Clarke emigrated from England to Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) in 1956, largely to pursue his interest in scuba diving. That year he discovered the underwater ruins of the ancient Koneswaram temple in Trincomalee. Clarke augmented his fame later on in the 1980s, from being the host of several television shows such as Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World. He lived in Sri Lanka until his death.Clarke was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1989 for services to British cultural interests in Sri Lanka. He was knighted in 1998 and was awarded Sri Lanka's highest civil honour, Sri Lankabhimanya, in 2005.
