Sadly I think amputation is going to be the only outcome.

It was the poles fault. It moved in front of me!!!!

[Gottfrid]

A woman with a pole fetish. Nothing to see here, as it´s a very common fixation.

[mikebell]

The power pole carnage continues after 11 of them were downed yesterday by the weight of cables.  Prayuth should form a committee to look into this wilful slaughter of the innocents.

well, there is no incompatibility between accepting medical assistance and calling the mother!

[Mr Meeseeks]

How can this be? ????

 

It's only motorbikes that have accidents here, most Thais are great drivers etc. ????

[Lt Frank Bullitt]

Hold on I am confused, normally it is reported the car is at fault for hitting the pole, never that a person was in control of said car!

[Bangkok Barry]

One of the certainties in life is that if there is a pole by the road then sooner or later a Thai will hit it.

[Road Warrior]

speeding and or on the phone as most thais do !!!

[toofarnorth]

History repeating . 1939  Germany invaded Poland , 2022 Thais are attacking poles.

Sorry , I seem to be suffering from rising damp.

[PETERTHEEATER]

Always they are 'power poles' My theory is that the flow of electricity causes an electro-magnetic effect which actually attracts vehicles within range. These poor drivers are innocent and should be compensated.......????

40-year-old woman injured after her pickup truck crashes into a power pole in Pattaya

 

The Pattaya City Police was notified of poles jumping into the road at an intersection on Pattaya Third Road. They and The Pattaya News arrived at the scene to point at a damaged pickup truck and offending power pole.

 

The driver, Ms. Janpen Unsamrong, 40, from Nakhon Ratchasima, had sustained several injuries inside the pickup truck caused by amulet failure.

 

Police are still trying to determine who fled the scene. The metropolitan authority have erected a new power pole to provide target practice for other motorists.

According to the FULL story; It happened on a curve and she swerved to avoid another vehicle in the opposite lane. So one or both of them were cutting the "curve" IMO

No, she can't get the dancing around a pole out of her system.  The temptation is too strong and a lifetime of practice.  After all she's only 40.

[RandiRona]

She was running out of power and wanted to charge her battery, It was government mistake for not providing parking for charging her pickup!
