Must be a deserted area, anywhere near civilization and the truck would be empty by the time the old bill arrived.

Most probably overloaded as usual. I sometimes see pickups here, if they got a gust of wind from the side, over they would go.

A one ton truck, piled high with 3.5 tons, seen all the time whether Durian, logs, etc I'm surprised its not a daily occurrence, there seems to be no law on overloading small trucks.

I arrived at the scene near Phan just after an overloaded pickup had overturned with a load of pigs.

Funniest thing I've seen for a long time, locals trying to catch pigs who did not want to be there.
