Fish paste

A Chinese truck driver had a lucky escape when his vehicle collided with two cars that had crashed right in front of him. The truck then rolled onto one of the cars, spilling its 5.5tonne cargo of frozen fish in the process. Those involved in the crash may have smelt afterwards, but escaped without serious injuries. The truck driver’s wallet was hit hard however, as the costly cargo defrosted and had to be thrown away.
