TEENAGER GOES MISSING FOLLOWING BURNING MAN

Burning Man attendees were forced to wait nine hours extra during the annual 'exodus' from the US festival after a 17-year-old girl was reported missing.

Thankfully, the teen was later found safe in Black Rock City, however the hold up caused huge delays to an already notoriously long exit procedure.

Drivers exiting the playa were reported asleep at the wheel, holding up the line further to the point that festival reps recommended waiting until Tuesday to leave, although by Monday evening, waiting times were down to between four and six hours.

Sets and footage from the event can be expected to sweep the Internet later this week — once everyone's had a good hot shower we imagine!
