77kaoded reported that a Nissan - a one of a kind in Thailand - hit a pick-up then collided with a parked truck/trailer in Nonthaburi. 

 

Chaiyaphreuk police and rescue services went to Chaiyaphreuk Road outbound in Pak Kret at 7.30 pm last night.

 

They found a destroyed Nissan Skyline G37.

The car driver was Wisarut, 38 who had been with his girlfriend. They suffered only minor injuries and were taken to Nonthawet Hospital. 

 

A Mitsubishi pick-up suffered damage to its rear. 

 

Its driver Theerayuth said he was hit from behind after coming down from the top of the Rama 4 Bridge and changing to the right lane. He managed to maintain control but the vehicle that hit him went into a parked truck/trailer.

The Nissan driver said he'd just bought the car for 2.5 million baht and it was the only one of its kind in Thailand. 

 

Police investigations will continue when the Nissan driver is interviewed following his release from hospital.

Any chance he might have been driving a little over the speed limit to impress his girlfriend (I wonder of he is married).

 

I can't imagine the Mitsubishi driver looked or even indicated to change lanes either.

Now it's definitely "one of a kind". The occupants were lucky to survive. How long before it's repaired and back on the road anyone?

I would guess at Saturday this week, but be careful the paint may still be a bit tacky.....

Is it a GTR? they have a G meter dont they? wonder what Gs they pulled on impact?? See the rear reflectors/;iights on back of trailer are way high so prob hard to see when testing the dump valve noises at high RPMs...

Car - House ?  Car - House ? Car - House ? Think I'd take the house over the depreciating 2.5 million car

As long as that? Bit of duck tape and it will be fine

For once, it looks like the parked truck/trailer is innocent.

No, it's not, it's an Infiniti G37 with a Liberty Walk body kit.

...although it could be a Japan only Skyline 370GT (same thing, basically).
