Car cushions driver but crushes cows in crash, Police blotter, Phnom Penh Post

A reckless driver will count himself lucky that he escaped a crash without serious injuries, although the cow he collided with was not as fortunate.

The 21-year-old student was driving from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville on Saturday when he lost control of his vehicle.

First, he ploughed through a herd of cows, breaking the legs of two of them before continuing into a thicket of trees.

The wild ride came to a stop off the side of the road with the driver protected from any serious harm by his already-deployed airbags.
