Phnom Penh Post - Clumsy driver’s plans go right down the drain
The gutter is no place for a swim, but one truck driver found himself there after his vehicle, which was transporting plants to an Amazon Cafe in Phnom Penh’s Chamkarmon district, crashed into a drainage ditch yesterday.
Witnesses say the truck stopped near the cafe to let a car pass before it drove into the guard rails and plunged into the water.
The driver, who swam from the cabin unhurt, blamed faulty brakes.
Hopefully his shower still works.
