Matreusse Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 3 hours ago, KannikaP said: Did the outage not turn the power off? LOL The outage was probably caused by the pickup hitting the power pole and cutting off the power there, it would not necessarily cut off the power to the pole.

I would have thought that the downing of the pole would have caused both electricity in and out to be cut off. But better to be safe than sorry.

Scott Tracy Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 That's making a meal of it. Just hitting the power pole should have been enough. But a house, power pole AND and roti stall is just making damn sure, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 No chance it was during the witching hour and he was drunk and had a microsleep now possibly. RIP to the deceased, and hopefully he was already deceased because of a medical issue prior to the accident and not unseatbelted sustaining blunt force trauma, or electrocution. Must of been a shower of sparks and with water running made it hard for rescuers to get to the vehicle until the power was all turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add into the mix the flood of those awful Bangkok drivers startled into heavy footedness by a clear bit of road ahead of them. It was all safer when stationary.

mikebell Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 To do that amount of damage he must have been driving at high speed and wildly. Serious question, has anyone seen a policeman lately or are they all in Bangkok beating up students? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
