PHUKET: A Thai woman escaped a high-impact accident with only minor injuries after the car she was driving hit a roadside guardrail in front of the Tha Ruea Chinese Shrine, just south of the Heroines Monument, on Thepkrasattri Rd in Srisoonthorn, early this morning (Feb 15).

 

Lt Col Sanit Nookong of Thalang Police was called to the scene at about 3:50am.

 

Police and rescue workers from the Srisoonthorn Rescue Unit arrived at the scene to find a black Phuket-registered Honda City with heavy damage to its front. The car was askew and facing backwards on the northbound side of the road.

“This is a dangerous curve and most cars are driven at high speed along this section of road,” Lt Col Sanit said.

Does this mean she had nothing to do with the accident?

What a ba luck for her to sit in this stupid car!

 

Normally it is the driver who causes the car to hit something it shouldn't.

 

I understand:  the car lost face -not her (can even be seen in the foto)

Is a Lt Col a high rank? Does he need to be called out to a RTA at 4am?

Seems not really high. "Head of service/shift" at the station?

But before I try to interpret look here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Thai_Police#Officers

"OF-5" of 10.

Long way from here:to there (general):

See the good of the news. Guardrail did it's job. No pole to hit. Driver survived.

Without sleeping or being drunk, exactly how do you crash a car on deserted roads at 3.50 am

sorry to post here as my question is irrelevant to the post but maybe some members living in Phuket can help.

 

I am thinking about driving to Phuket next week and would like if any of you could tell me where the speed traps/radar are, was there 3 months ago and got a speedy ticket but couldn't remember the exact place, I think (not sure at all) it was between the Outlet site and Central Festival, BTW I don't have a radar/speed detector installed... thanks for the feed back

Is the guardrail ok?

A car hit something. No other vehicle involved and no one hurt. And this is News? Sheesh!
