Picture: Sanook

 

CCTV footage from the front of a shop on the Chiang Mai to Doi Saket road showed the moment a wheel came off the front of a pick-up.

 

The front left wheel went at speed into a flower pot in a noodle shop but fortunately no one was hurt.

 

Tawan, the owner of the footage, said that he normally parked in that place but hadn't on Saturday.

 

The Mitsubishi pick-up was being driver by an employee of a "tent" - a place for second hand vehicles.

 

He told Tawan that the pick-up had been put into a garage for a service and he was taking it on a test-drive before offering it for sale, reported Sanook.

 

He reckoned that the mechanic had forgotten to tighten the nuts. 

 

The tent employee managed to control the pick-up and come to a safe stop within 100 meters of losing his wheel.

I had to check if anyone had been hurt cuz I really laughed at this. I don't need yet another reason to be hell bound.
