Phnom Penh Post - Sleepy truck driver takes a $220 dive
Choosing a less than ideal spot to nap on Wednesday, a trucker ended up paying compensation to a boxer who rear-ended his rig with a motorbike.
After stopping the lorry in the middle of a capital street in Boeung Tompun commune for some shut eye, the truck was crashed into by the 17-year-old pugilist, who was injured in the crash.
The final bell rang on the case, however, when the drowsy driver agreed to give $220 to the victim for treatment.
