Truck rams cars onto house boat

Two cars were hanging off the quay and leaning on a house boat in the city moat in the center of Amsterdam, after they were rammed by a truck Friday afternoon. The truck was crossing a bridge on the intersection of the Reguliersgracht and the Prinsengracht, when the driver presumably lost control and rammed the cars. Three other cars were damaged as well. Nobody was hurt. The cause is still a mystery. All traffic has been rerouted to clean up the mess.
