This is the amusing moment a boat took a shortcut by leaping over a road that separates two canals.

The long-tail motorboat was filmed in Siem Reap, northwestern Cambodia on October 27.

Footage taken by a driver visiting the area shows the moment when the boat was driven across the mound that separates the canal without stopping.

Onlookers said they were surprised by the way the pilot calmly took the shortcut. Ah Tep said: ''The boatman just sailed across the mound without care. It was like he flew the boat.''
