In Spain, Google Street View car targeted by tomato throwers

Food fight: The Google Street View car was assaulted by dozens of festival-goers at the end of the Spanish tomato-throwing "Tomatina" festival in Bunol, breaking windows, mirrors and cameras. The images of the car stained with red and stuck in the crowd went around social networks.

MADRID: All it wanted was to capture the aftermath of Spain’s annual Tomatina festival, but in the end, the Google Street View car turned out to be a ripe target for tomato throwers. 

The US firm had wanted to capture before-and-after pictures of the streets in the eastern town of Bunol during the annual festival when thousands of people hurl tomatoes at each other.
