WATCH: Watermelon massacre after truck crashes

By Ella Wong, June 24, 2015

Looks like 2015 is shaping up to be a bad year for both driving and watermelons in China. Last week, we admired the off-road adventures of a Chengdu cabbie driving his taxi down four flights of stairs. This week, CCTV News brings us footage of an unfortunate trucker in Shanxi who careened off the highway and into a fence. Thankfully, no humans were reported injured in the crash. Alas, his delicious, 30-ton bounty of watermelons was not so lucky. Watch the video below.
