CCTV footage from a level crossing in the Asoke area of Bangkok yesterday morning showed a black car narrowly miss two motorcycles and plow headlong into a barrier.

 

Sanook reporters went to the scene where a motorcycle taxi guy confirmed the incident happened about 7 am. 

 

The woman behind the wheel of the car stopped a little further down the road.

 

A railway official at the scene said that the driver caused about 10,000 baht damage and agreed to pay up.

 

She said that she thought she saw a green light but didn't see the barrier.

 

She had travelled from the north east, Sakon Nakhon, in a friend's car.

 

She was famous "Mor Lam" country singer Prisana Wongsiri - nickname Kai - who was a Miss Thailand Universe runner-up in 1987.

A colour blind test maybe on the cards, as she was on the rails...????

What is the different between red and green? not much at all apparently to motorcycle riders...

I think this is she: 

 

 

Senile felines.. (which is a palindrome btw) ????

 

Audit her comms  with whatever carrier she subscribes to.

Likely pfaffing about with mobile lucky she didn't kill somebody or get railed by a locomotive.

Absolutely! Those barriers in general, and that one in particular, are always accompanied by flashing red lights and clanging bells when they're down - pretty hard to miss. Luckily, the barrier at that intersection is always lowered well in advance of the oncoming train, probably because of people like her...

But "senile female" isn't.   Btw, It was a woman driving not a cat.

I think that it is better to call it a "macro sleeper" in this case.

Was her night ending or her day starting ?
