rooster59 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Image: Sanook An extraordinary video from a road outside Bangkok yesterday showed a red plate (brand new) Toyota C-HR skewered with a pole that had come loose from an Isuzu D-Max pick-up behind. It went straight through the back window of the new car and stopped just inches from the head of the driver. It was one of about eight metal poles loaded onto the roof of the pick-up. There was a flimsy piece of red cloth to "satisfy the law". According to the post on the accident and situation site (V.2) the vehicles were travelling inbound on Barom Ratchachonnanee Road. The post contained few details except that "Holy things are real - don't diss them". -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-03-20 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted March 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2021 It’s is news such as this which frightens me. The idiotic carelessness of a total moron can have a life changing impact on others - the BiB & general attitudes towards safety do nothing more than enable & exacerbate these risks. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jaiyen Posted March 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2021 I have looked several times and I think the pipe in the car is a smaller diameter. If so I would presume it was put inside another pipe but not secured. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
