Canada's naked car crash takes new twist as three face kidnapping charges

Three people are due to appear in a Canadian court on charges of kidnapping in a bizarre case that burst into public view after a car full of naked people deliberately rammed another vehicle on a road in Alberta.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police were called to the scene of a collision earlier this week in an industrial park in Nisku, south of Edmonton. They arrived to find a white BMW that had crashed into a truck.
In the BMW sat five people, all of them naked, despite the centimetres of snow on the ground and temperatures that hovered around 10C below zero.
Police described the crash as a “purposeful collision” and said drugs or alcohol may have been a factor. The five people were arrested at the scene.
The RCMP later said the strange saga had actually begun about 20 minutes before the collision when two adults and a six-week-old baby were taken from a residence and forced into a vehicle.
