Phnom Penh Post - Asleep at the wheel, driver alert after crash
A dozing driver in Svay Rieng town destroyed a bunch of government property early yesterday. The driver was unable to control his lorry and it ploughed through a street sign, a traffic circle and then into the provincial Department of Education.
