A woman has been arrested after being suspected of causing a massive crash as a result of holding a sign too far in the road during the Tour de France.

In the video footage, she is seen looking away from the oncoming peloton, and unfortunately, German rider, Tony Martin, crashed into her creating a messy ripple effect, BBC reports.

The crash reportedly held up the race for around five minutes as chaos tried to be restored while bikes and bodies were untangled.
