PHUKET: Two men escaped serious injuries after the car they were travelling in swerved out of control and struck a light pole on the central reservation then flipped, landing on its roof on the other side of Thepkrasattri Rd in Mai Khao yesterday (Mar 2).

 

Capt Thanom Thongpaen of the Tha Chatchai Police and rescue workers were called to the scene, near the Blue Canyon Country Club, at about midday.

 

At the scene officers and emergency responders found a black Toyota Altis, registered in Kalasin province, overturned in the northbound lanes.
