Bang Saphan police attended the scene after twelve tons of rolled steel fell off the back of a lorry.

 

It happened on the Phatchkasem to Chai Thalay Road in Bang Saphan, Prachuap Khiri Khan near the Bang Saphan Withaya school.

 

Police found some of the rolled steel still attached but about twelve tons was all over the road.

 

Driver Suwat, 41, said he was taking the metal from the area to Rayong and was doing about 30-40 kmph along windy roads when it came loose.

 

An initial investigation discovered that the scrap metal was not properly attached to the truck.

 

The factory where it came from has been contacted and better procedures are being put in place to avoid a repeat.

 

Luckily no motorists or motorcyclists were coming up behind when the load spilled onto the road so there were no injuries, reported Siam Rath yesterday.
