webfact Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Truck crashes into manned police booth in Nakhon Ratchasima By The Nation Deciding it was better to hit a police booth than several motorcyclists, a truck driver aimed his out-of-control 10-wheeler at the cop kiosk in Muang Nakhon Ratchasima on Monday morning, to the considerable horror of the policeman inside. The truck hauling rice demolished one side of the booth before coming to a stop inside the compound of a mall selling construction materials. Pol Senior Sgt Major Jaran Thukhokkuan, 44, was slightly injured but able to struggle out of his wrecked booth after the accident at the Lotus intersection in Tambon Hua Thalay. Jaran was operating the traffic lights at the intersection when he heard the sound of braking and saw the truck coming towards him. He had no time to flee and said he felt fortunate to have not been severely hurt. His motorcycle, parked beside the booth, was a write-off, though. Truck driver Waipoj Saensuk, 53, was taking the rice to a mill when he tried and failed to brake for a red traffic at the intersection. Realising there were many motorcyclists ahead of him, he decided to swerve to the side.

Popular Post TallGuyJohninBKK Posted February 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2018 Glad the policeman inside escaped. But you'd kind of have to think, there's a certain amount of karmic justice in this caper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell17au Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 At least the truck driver did not blame brake failure, he admitted he braked too late. An honest Thai driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
