TRUCK MAKES SOFT LANDING IN CASCADE SEA

Truck in the Sea

This week a truck caught the eye of motorists driving down cascade main road as it lay peaceful and idle in the shallow waters of cascade in the sea. The truck apparently left the main road and made a soft landing in the muddy waters of cascade. At the time of theĀ  mishap it was low tide and fortunately nobody was injured. The truck was being driven by Indian migrant worker and it is not clear how the truck left the road to end up in the sea. Luckily the truck landed on all fours in a James Bond style stunt to the amazement of passers by. It has been reported that the truck was mechanically sound and that the driver may have lost control of his vehicle after travelling at high speed. As the Christmas season approaches the police have warned against speeding cars and the propensity to have the accidents statistics increase dramatically around the festive season time. Drivers are thus warned to be more careful and to refrain from indulging in alcoholic beverages before taking the wheels around this time.
