webfact Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Thailand Road Carnage: Horrific pictures after Volvo driver's death Picture: Daily News Horrific pictures accompanied a Daily News story of a road traffic accident on Song Prapha Road outbound in Bangkok last night. A Volvo 940 had hit a tree in the central reservation before spinning and wrapping around a power pole. Don Muang police were soon on the scene with Poh Teck Tung rescue foundation and the electrical authorities. The electrical people used a crane to make the power pole safe. Poh Teck Tung used cutting gear to get to Chayarop, 23, who was dead behind the wheel. Relatives and friends of the deceased were in tears at the scene. A friend said that he had been following and saw what happened. They tried to help but couldn't locate their friend. They had been at a house playing games and Chayarop was on his way home to his address near the accident site. Police are examining CCTV. Daily News made no mention of any consumption of alcohol in their report.

At the sorts of speed required to cause the damage shown above ... maybe they where not following but racing each other ? 29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dmaxdan Posted October 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2020 Volvos do, or at least used to have a good reputation for strength and safety. To make one completely unrecognizable to what it once was would take some doing. But, of course this is Thailand and when it comes to road safety, they don't do things by halves. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DrTuner Posted October 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) That's a sturdy pole. The 940 is built like a tank. Must've been going near 200 km/h. Edited October 9, 2020 by DrTuner 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) It had already hit a tree so it must have been very fast to make that happen, more pics here.. https://www.facebook.com/allnew.donmuang/posts/3374204949470549 Edited October 9, 2020 by LennyW 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackstask Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Volvos are top of the list for crash test safety. Must have been doing one hell of a speed to cause that damage. RIP young inexperienced driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that compare to a total of 100%, which can't be exceeded? I take it you are a footballer, they are always quoting playing at 110%, whatever they think that means. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
