Like the tuk-tuk driver parked in front of Zeppelin - he might not make it. Or the moto dudes cross-corner from Shanghai - their bikes got done and one of them..he's not doing too well. Neither is the Howie's waitress who got clipped and shipped off to the hospital - not sure how she's doing.
Why:
Apparently, the chick hit the Howie's waitress and, as is the custom, barrel-assed down 51 to get away from the accident. On the way she took out a bunch of motos and did the tuk-tuk guy in front of Zep. No skid marks. Car went straight into the outside tables at Walk- they are trashed. (Thankfully, no one inside was injured.) Zep is un-touched.
The Driver Emerges:
Blonde tweaker and friends crawled out of the smashed VE-HI-CLE - flipping the bird at excited gawkers. Nice. She got class. Made it to the corner before Khmer onlookers grabbed her and hauled her ass to the station down the road.
Not being a general's daughter, I'm thinking she is well and truly fucked.
The Khmer Peanut Gallery Weighs In:
As they hauled her down the street to the cop station, a mini riot erupted for some reason (well...because they're Khmers and they just got to run wild...) So the Khmers started pushing each other and punching each other and that shit went on for a bit. 'Til the brothers got it together - and attacked the car. Smashed windows, kicked the fuck out of the doors. They tossed that car a beating. So the car didn't win either.
Walkabout:
Walkabout probably not a winner...guessing the cops - who showed up 20 mins after the crash will find a way to put some of the blame ($$$) on them for this carnage. But hey, better late than never - Fuzz hit the ground running - showed up and took control of the scene - well, mainly they took control of the motos parked in front of the Walkabout. Put 'em in a pick-up and hauled them off to the station - for questioning, maybe. Wonder how much it'll take to get them out of cop-hock. (Hey, 'tis the season..)
No Winners in This Sad Tale:
But the echai kid- waded through a puddle of blood to score some slightly used hubcaps (they popped off the tuk-tuk) and some of the assorted moto parts that were strewn about. Right on, kid.
Someone might as well win.

Damn!!! News broken here b4 440?!?! Those children really need to get on the ball! It'll give them something else to whine about.
The Howie's waitress is a bit banged-up but she'll be OK.
I would imagine the driver has been "banged" up a bit, as well!
Nice report. Which waitress was it?
I imagine the source of the riot was over who "called dibs"
I miss things like that! Of course I saw a Toyota run into the back of a truck (truck won easy) here in Angeles two days ago. KYGreg
Good to see you guys back bloggin', been a long drought here, but interested readers do stop in now and then in hope!!! Of course, Big Sister doing the deed on 51 sure did get some play time on the gossip circuit today, would hate to be in them high heeled shoes today...
How many times have we told the tuk tuk guys not to park in front of Zep. they just dont listen.
"How many times have we told the tuk tuk guys not to park in front off Zep. they just dont listen."
That's what I said!! It's NOT because we want to look at the chicks doing the Heart-Walk Shuffle. I only ever had the tuk-tuk drivers safety in mind...and now look what's happened!
Feel sorry for the dead and injured but one less tuk tuk cant be bad.
reminds me of the guy 2-3 years ago geting shot (dead)in the back while driving his moto right in front of the WA (shot by a guy with a pistol, also on a motobike and chasing him) I was sitting with some bar girls where the Viets gather on the sidewalk to eat (just across the street) surreal, to say the least
