Camel, policeman collide in Sarlat
Did you hear the one about the p0liceman and the camel? No, nor did I.
I’m not sure how I missed this at the time, but a 500 kilogram camel smashed into a police car during the Sarlat Christmas market in December. The windscreen of the Ford Focus was smashed, but luckily for all concerned there were no injuries.
“There was nothing I could do,” officer Laurent Legal, who was driving the car that hit the camel, told Metro France. “It’s a good thing I wasn’t driving very fast.”
Peppette the camel was being loaded up to go home following an appearance at the Christmas market when he was spooked by the crowds and took off.
