Sri Racha — Two women and one man were seriously injured after their truck collided with a power pole in Sri Racha during yesterday’s downpour.

Bowin police and rescue services on September 25th rushed to the Map Eang-Amata City road in the Bowin subdistrict of Sri Racha in Chonburi to aid three victims who had been seriously injured in a traffic accident.

The three victims, Ms. Namkhang Naksungnern (32), Ms. Thanaporn Naksungnoen (24), and Mr. Niphon Boon-art (34), were found near their white Isuzu 4-wheeled truck that rammed into a power pole on a traffic island around noon.

Sorry no sympathy for bad driving

I thought it was another brake failure event but it appears it was due to the road being wet, they are bad drivers on dry roads thus not expecting any prowess when they drive on wet ones

And the two ladies flew out of the truck. Guess they weren't using their seat belts.

Seat belts, what are they for?

As power poles cause so much carnage on the roads in Thailand maybe it is time to ban them?????

It is always excuses,  wet road!

It's only bad driving if the driver was awake !

Let me guess, running empty with tyres inflated for full load in pre-warned bad weather.

I suspect speed was an issue...
