Vegetables only victims of Pursat bus collision

A bus driver lost control of his vehicle on Sunday in Pursat province, crashing into a marble roundabout on National Road 5.

The incident occurred after the driver was forced to swerve to avoid a home-made truck as it crossed the street.

None were injured, but the bus’s front was badly damaged and its cargo of vegetables spilled, in what some suggest may be the first case of vegan roadkill in the Kingdom.
