Chaos after tank driver nods off

Red faced army officials have apologised after a tank left a trail of destruction when its driver nodded off at the controls.

The South Korean military vehicle was returning from an all night training exercise near the North Korean border when it suddenly accelerated and veered off the road.

The massive tank crushed two cars before ploughing into four trucks as terrified drivers and pedestrians ran for cover.

One driver escaped death by inches, gripping the steering wheel in disbelief as the tank ploughed through the passenger side of his car, leaving it a mass of twisted metal.

The tank only came to a halt when it careered into a shopfront and stalled, waking up still sleeping driver Yeon Lee, 32, say local police.

Astonishingly, the only casualty was Lee, who was taken to hospital with injuries to his head and chest.

Not a whole lot of room to make jokes here.

Just TANKful no one was hurt.


Did you really think that I would not make a joke about this?
