BEIJING (SCMP): A Rolls-Royce owner in China declined compensation from a truck driver after a minor collision but felt disheartened by claims that she staged the incident for online fame.

Recently, in southern China’s Guangzhou, a truck made a turn and unexpectedly collided with a pink Rolls-Royce valued at over 6 million yuan (US$830,000).
