77kaoded Thai Caption: Car comes off delivery trailer and overturns

 

A second hand car dealer in Kabinburi had to call a customer to say there was a problem with the delivery of his Toyota Altis.

 

It had come off the transporter and ended up on its roof.

 

Police and rescue services went to the scene on the Suwannasorn Road heading towards Ban Na.

 

The driver of the transporter, whose name was not provided by 77kaoded just his age as 35, said that he had been hired to take the car to Phijit.

It was raining and cars in front had slowed but he was unable to brake in time and veered into the central reservation losing his load. 

 

He was obliged to call the dealer in Kabinburi so that he could relay the news to the new owner.

 

77kaoded had a video of the aftermath.

 

They added that heavy rain in the area had resulted in the temporary closure of the Nang Rong waterfall to tourists in the central Thai province.

I'm sure it was a scary moment... very understandable under the circumstances.

... i had exactly the same thought as you.... i think they were stressing how bad the rainfall was as if this is to be blamed rather than the driver of the truck.
