77kaoded reported on two pick-up accidents at the weekend in which the drivers walked away without a scratch.

 

The first was on the local road by the Bangkok - Pattaya motorway in Chachoengsao.

 

At KM 44 in the rain a Toyota hit a lamppost and was smashed to bits.

 

Bang Pakong found the driver - a 40 year old man - uninjured but paralytic from drink.

I hope the police do the right thing... these people are killers!!!!!

I am confused....Rain and drinking are to be blamed for the accidents or praised for the lucky escape ?

like magnets to drivers ,
