It was a rough day for a pair of waste workers in Ynysybwl, Wales. They were picking up recycling bags on the top of a hill in the tiny village when their truck mysteriously went out of control. The driver was in the runaway rig as it suddenly accelerated down the hill and towards a school bus. Luckily, he was able to wrestle the heavy, plastic bottle-laden dump truck out of the way of certain charges of manslaughter. Unfortunately, after missing the bus, the driver and his vehicle managed to run through an Audi A4 convertible, a rover wagon, a white van and at least two Ford Kas before ending up nose-first in a garage.

Despite the six wrecked cars and approximately $100,000 in damage, everyone seemed to be able to put the wreck into perspective. Said the owner of the Rover "It's is a write-off - but after all the car is only metal and the main thing is that nobody was hurt." One went so far as to suggest the driver should get a medal for missing the school bus. There's hope for Aqua Limo yet.
