Trolleyed trucker totals eatery, attacks owner

A drunken truck driver’s freewheeling ways resulted in his arrest in Kampong Speu on Saturday.

While speeding through Phnom Sruoch district, one of the truck’s wheels detached, careening into a nearby food store.

While the owner and patrons avoided any harm, the food was not so fortunate.

The driver, adding insult to near-injury, was drunk and proceeded to try and hit the store owner before the authorities intervened.
