On a mountain road near Bo Xilai’s city of Chongqing, two boulders got bored and went on a run. On the way down the mountain, the rocks crushed five cars. The bigger boulder, estimated to weigh 200 ton, hit the jackpot:
It hit a truck loaded with 400 yellow boxes of beer. Truck and beer totaled.
According to Carnewschina, nobody died. Which is amazing. 400 destroyed cases of beer can be a distressing and stressing sight.

Is that the Chinese version of a Reliant Robin on the bottom picture?
Looks like it! Quite interesting. Bertel?
3-wheelers are all over China, most based on (part of) a motorcycle. Top Gear drove one when they were there this last season, and there’s an article on TTAC from Tycho regarding a 3-wheel pick-upish thing.
no not even close. It’s much worse than a Robin. I think top gear covered that car when they did their China episode. I know I’ve seen video of that car somewhere.
Anyway you DON’T want to ride in that thing, whereas the Robin is good for a laugh, especially on it’s side, just ask Clarkson.
More like a crew-cab copy of a Piaggio Ape, it seems to me.
My heart goes out to the beer…
The ultimate sacrifice, to be sure.
Depends on how good the beer was, if it was the Chinese equivalent to Milwaukee’s Best I wouldn’t shed too many tears.
But if it’s like Milwauee’s Best Ice – that stuff has 6% alcohol – who cares?
That is not going to be a fun insurance claim to fill out.
It will be tough, since in China I suppose you can’t claim “act of God” as the cause.
Bad Feng Shui?
Hey, looks it’s a 3 wheeled “Wildfire” display it’s natural resting state.
It has not been Bo’s city for several months now. Of course in China, as long as you’re alive, you should never say never. Unless your name is Gu Kailai, then it’s pretty much probably a sealed deal.
Lotsa lock!!
(Sorry, couldn’t help myself) :-P
so if no one died what happened to the drivers of the VW and Citroen?
Only other thing I have to say is this, those are big rocks. Glad no one died.
agreed… glad no one dies… perhaps the deities of this millenia prefers beer sacrifices than human sacrifices.
