A funeral home in Poland issued an unusual apology on Saturday after a corpse that it was transporting fell out of a hearse and into traffic, AP reports.

Polish media reported that a man was driving down a street in Stalowa Wola, a city in southeastern Poland, when he first saw a sheet on his car window. When the sheet slid down, he saw a body lying on the road. For a moment the driver feared that he had hit the person.

The company transporting the corpse, Hades Funeral Services, issued a statement taking responsibility for the incident and blaming a technical failure of the hearse.
