I saw 'unbelievable' loads being transported in Southern Italy.
Imagine loading a vehicle to its 'limit' then adding another load on top - then adding a few extra pieces on top of that. The worst accident that I saw had a heavily-laden truck on its side in a ditch after running away down a hill and failing to negotiate the bend at the bottom. The scene looked as if the truck had mowed down a crowd of people - there was gore spread everywhere around - but on closer inspection it turned out to be . . . . . . tomatoes . . . |
