A local philanthropist was badly injured when a truck crashed into the back of a pickup, spinning it into another lorry, causing harm to the driver. Passers-by came to assist the injured man trapped inside the damaged Toyota pickup with registration plate number บว-1721 Nakhon Si Thammarat, which was left immobilised in the middle of the road.

 

The injured man was identified as Jimmy Chawala, owner of a cloth store and a well-known philanthropist in the town of Khon. Despite sustaining injuries, the 66 year old remained conscious and was later transported to Maharaj Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital by the Pracha Ruamchai Foundation rescue team, sanook reported.

 

Witnesses recounted that prior to the road accident, Chalawa was driving his pickup truck toward the city of Nakhon Si Thammarat. While descending a railway overpass, the first lorry crashed into the pickup’s rear, causing it to lose control, spin across the road, and collide with another truck.

Was his stamp collection OK?

Now the philanthropist is in need of a philanthropist...

If its possible I've noticed an uptick of appalling suicidal drivers hell bent on trying to waste me in the process over the last few weeks grab your amulet people ????  

Perhaps, had he been ascending an underpass instead of descending an overpass ..........

What has his hobby, business concern and reg no got to do with it?
