Photharam police in the central province of Ratchaburi were called after a woman flipped her Honda while making a U-turn on the Petchkasem Highway.

 

It happened near the Klong Ma Nao market.

 

At the scene they found a badly damaged vehicle on its roof.

 

Suffering only minor cuts to her left foot from a broken windshield was the driver, a woman named only as "Noi".

 

Noi said she was going home to Damnoen Saduak after work and was making a U-turn when a snake slithered into her path, reported 77kaoded.

She swerved to avoid it, hit a bridge support and sign and flipped over onto the other side of the klong. 

 

77kaoded said it was a miracle she was not more seriously hurt. The victim said it was fortunate she didn't end up in the water.

 

Police are assessing the damage to state property as they investigate the accident.

How fast was she going through a U-turn to have to swerve and cause this much damage?

 

[AndyFoxy]

Should have just imagined it was a climate change protestor and run it over.

The damage doesn't look that bad really, it's mostly the 'crumple zone' of the car by the looks of the photos.

 

It's called the crumple zone because it's supposed to do exactly what we can see in the photo

Agreed, at high speeds.

However, this woman claims to have been carrying out a U-turn.

Snake or no snake, you would have to be going at a decent speed to roll a car over during a U-turn.

If she was carrying out a U-turn at a reasonable speed, there would be no reason to swerve, just brake.

It would have been even more of a story had said snake moseyed on over to her upturned car and bit her on the bum.

Can snakes "mosey"? I thought they did more of a "sashay".

[RichardColeman]

My guess is that the snake was on the tiktok video she was watching at the time of the accident

Yes, the snake made me do it.  Bad snake.  How about excessive speed and poor driving skills?

I wonder if on reflection she might consider her actions to have been a tad over-the-top.

 

[twizzian]

Was it another hit ‘n’ run or did she just slither away

[toofarnorth]

Brake fail , wet road and now snake had it in for me. Maybe it was a wet road and she couldn't see through the wind screen due to bad vipers.   Well it made me larf !

I'm surprised that the 'fashionable' micro-nap wasn't used in the story.
