Car falls into hole caused by floodwaters in Songkhla

By The Nation

 

 

Floodwaters damaged part of a four-lane road in Songkhla's Thepha district, leading to a car plunging into a hole in the pavement.

The driver was not injured in the accident on the southern-bound Highway No 43 in Tambon Sakom at 4am.

 

The two remaining lanes of the northern-bound road were divided to accommodate southern-bound traffic pending road repairs.

 

Songkhla Governor Doladej Patanarat has ordered Sonkhla's second highway district to fix the road.

 

The driver, who was unidentified, said he saw a big hole ahead and tried to stop his car but was unable to do so in time.

 

The car was damaged but the driver was uninjured as he was able to slow down before impact.

"The driver, who was unidentified, said he saw a big hole ahead and tried to stop his car but was unable to do so in time."

 

That means he was driving too fast for the road conditions.....normal for LoS.

Perhaps the driver's speed was adequate for someone not expecting a big hole in the road.

It depends on the road.

I'm not saying you are wrong but there are a lot of variables is the hole on the opposite side of a small rise in the street is it on a bend.
