The car’s a Corolla, the truck’s a roller!

IT WAS truck versus car – and the car won.
A Daihatsu light truck towing a mulcher and a Toyota Corolla sedan collided near the intersection of Lower Dandenong and Boundary roads in Braeside on Monday afternoon.
But in an odd occurrence, it was the truck that suffered the most damage.
Dandenong firefighters at the scene said the truck rolled over on to its side.
No one was injured in the incident.
Firefighters called on a heavy haulage tow truck to help the Daihatsu back on to its wheels.
