Naew Na Thai Caption: Warning: Crane brings down sign nearly getting motorcyclist

 

Neaw Na reported that dash cam footage - that they didn't appear to publish - showed the scary moments that a 10 wheel vehicle with crane went along a Bangkok road.

 

Before the driver realised his crane was extended he had narrowly missed an elevated train station under construction. 

 

Then he brought down a large road sign and busted a pole.

Finally he cottoned on to the trouble he was causing. 

 

Not before he nearly killed a motorcyclist with the sign, reported the media.

 

Naew Na had screenshots of the drama then went to Tiwanon Road in Pak Kret to show the extent of the damage.

 

The precarious nature of the damaged pole - and the sign still lying there - seemed to indicate that the authorities had yet to do anything.

 

The media called for quick action from the authorities after the incident on Saturday.
