While his brothers were trying to reach enlightenment, a capital man was concerned with reaching home quickly yesterday and crashed in Prek Pnov district.

Leaving the pagoda, the Buddhist layman was speeding down the wrong side of the road when a truck carrying garment workers approached.

Trying to swerve, he lost control and veered into an electric pole. Left counting his blessings, the man was only slightly injured and crawled out of the crumpled car.
