Police clip shows working lights on van wreck even after battery removed

A policeman at a station in Angthong in the early hours of Monday posted a video clip of a van wreck that showed a flashing rotating light even after its battery had been removed.

 

Pol Senior Sgt-Major Phajon Chansing of Wiset Chaichan district police station posted the 33-second clip on his Facebook wall at 1am Monday.

His message said he needed company while on duty for his Sunday night shift at the station as he felt there was something that could not be explained about the van.

 

The policeman recounted that the van had been damaged in a road accident on Saturday in which a Myanmar worker was killed.

 

He said the van was pulled to the station as evidence pending an accident investigation and its battery had been removed to prevent a fire.

 

He said while he was on the Sunday overnight shift, he heard sounds from the van and walked over to check. He found the sounds had stopped but he saw the flashing rotating light.

 

A Facebook user, Ekapol Manosoontorn, came with a possible explanation within a day of the original post. In a Tuesday morning comment to the original post, Ekapol wrote that if the van had a sound amplifier, it would have a second battery installed at the back.

So it took someone else to explain to the police the reason for the flashing light - sounds about right.

I take it the police thought it was the ghost of the dead driver playing tricks with them.

 

His message said he needed company while on duty for his Sunday night shift at the station as he felt there was something that could not be explained about the van.

 

Not fit to be a police man , scared of ghosts ????????????????

Stupid as they come!! Removing a car main battery does not fix everything, it might have a back up battery, but probably a rechargeable battery light unit!

 

I except they have decided a Thai ghost or brake failure!

Mysterious case of ‘haunted van’ solved: a short circuit

By The Nation

 

The “mysterious case” of a van initially thought by a policeman to be haunted has been solved – its battery had not, in fact, been removed and rain had caused a short circuit that turned on the revolving lights.

 

In a Facebook post at 1am on Monday Pol Sr Sgt-Major Phajon Chansing of Wiset Chaichan district police station wondered if the van was haunted. After an accident that killed a Myanmar worker, the van’s revolving lights turned on even though the battery had been removed, he posted, along with a video.

 

But on Tuesday, Ditkanit Sudecha, owner of a garage in Wiset Chaichan, went to check the wrecked van.

 

He found that the battery had remained connected but had been moved by the crash impact and was hidden under a seat. The policeman was mistaken in his belief that the battery had been removed.

 

Ditkanit said the rain on Sunday night and early Monday had led to a short circuit that turned on the revolving lights.

Started by a short-sighted policeman.

Maybe Pol Sr Sgt-Major Phajon Chansing (Magoo) needs his eyes testing - or reduce his alcohol intake.

Pretty bright the cops here.....!

Even with no (alleged) power source.

 

So it was a typical case of what I call "Thainformation".
Dealing with it on a daily basis ...
 

And here is the real mystery behind the story:

the Pol Sr Sgt-Major Phajon Chansing, who initially thought the van was haunted, is allowed to keep his ‘active’ post.
