This came after a massive smash-up on Friday in which a Nissan dump truck veered off the highway and slammed into 12 cars parked outside. Luckily all the drivers and passengers were in the roti shop at the time.[/size][size=12px]Bhagwandeen, however, believes the location of his shop had nothing to do with the accident.

He said there was no way his business could have affected the flow of traffic on the highway.[/size][size=12px]“We have been operating here over 30 years now and this is the first time there has been an accident here. I think it was total carelessness on the part of that driver. I don’t know how he plunged into those cars parked there, because apart from the highway, there is a lay-by,†Bhagwandeen said.[/size][size=12px]No Parking signs may cause Hi-Way Roti Shop to close down[/size][/color]
