Sand truck driver lacks grit, flees scene of crash

A 21-year-old motorist is recovering in hospital after slamming into a sand truck from behind yesterday in Pursat town.

Police say the truck had been making a left turn without signalling when the man, driving at high speeds, careened into it.

The driver, as is the fashion, fled the scene. Police are holding the truck and demanding he return to face the consequences.
