One driver luckily avoided a fiery death when he fell asleep while transporting a truckful of petrol yesterday in Preah Vihear province.

The drowsy driver fell asleep at the wheel, losing control of his vehicle. The liberated truck headed for an off-road adventure before coming to a stop by flipping over.

When the now wide awake transporter came to, petrol was spilling from the truck, but he walked away from the accident unscathed.
