Damrongsak Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Crispy critter! There's something about Thai power poles that attracts vehicles. Considering that the electricity is alternating current, I wonder if half the crashes are on each side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger70 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Before that, the 34-year-old victim told rescuers that his six-wheeler’s tires suddenly exploded and caused him to lose control of the vehicle. Never mind Tires blowing . If more then one tire blows on the Duals then there's a great possibility that the driver Never checked his tires before starting his road trip. Never mind the driver will tell a story what can be believed or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
