Diners avoid death but in need of a ride home

Ten motorbikes fell victim to a tired trucker who lost control of his vehicle on Saturday morning.

The weary driver smashed into a line of motos parked outside a restaurant in Kandal’s Kien Svay district.

The motorbike owners will feel unlucky having lost their mode of transportation, but lucky to have been inside the restaurant at the time of the incident.

Nobody was injured, but the truck driver was arrested and taken in for questioning.
