It is truly extraordinary how, every day, we read of drivers going into power poles. Mini vans, motorcycles, cars, lorries. Anyone. I can only assume they're magnetic.

Another presumption.

How fast are people driving through 'town', Patong, at speeds fast enough to sustain multiple injuries, aside from knocking on a few MB & cars.

 

And a supposedly professional driver at that ... ????

Er....no. They are electromagnetic. When the van came to rest it was facing north.
