Van collides with tank

In a bizarre road accident, a van was rear-ended by no less than a tank.

Photos posted by a netizen on Sina Weibo Thursday show the barrel of a tank hitting a van in front of it on a road in Changchun, Northeast China’s Jilin province.

The extraordinary crash drew hilarious comments on social media.

“I bet the driver will not dare to claim compensation,” said one Web user.

“Hi, boss, I am afraid I am going to be late today, because my car has been hit by a tank…” joked another, saying it was the perfect excuse for being late to work.
