A driver managed to walk away unscathed after his car collided with a group of wandering cows on Thepkrasattri Road in Phuket in the early hours of this morning. The driver, identified only as Bancha, was travelling in his white Toyota Veloce car around 4.30am when ten cows suddenly appeared out of nowhere and ran onto the road.

 

Unable to avoid the animals, Bancha’s vehicle collided with several of the cows, although he was unsure of the exact number. The incident took place in front of the PT Thalang Gas Station. Police Lieutenant Colonel Chanita Bunyanuwat, Deputy Inspector of Investigation at Thalang Police Station, was notified of the accident around 4.40am and immediately arrived at the scene.

 

The car had sustained significant damage to its front end, with the hood entirely collapsed and the grille, headlights, and fenders all broken. However, police officials confirmed that Bancha was unharmed. The health status of the cows involved in the accident remains unknown, as they had disappeared into a dark field nearby. There was no sign of blood on or near the damaged car, leading to hopes that no serious injuries were sustained by the animals.

I once passed an accident site on highway 1 towards Bangkok where cows had wandered onto the highway.

A real ugly view of open carcasses, s.it/intestines cluttered on the road.

Misc vehicles damaged.

The cows will always have an owner somewhere.

 

There were 5 cows wandering down the middle of the 223 east of Sakon Nakhon yesterday morning, the owner was nowhere in sight. Fortunately it was daytime no one came to grief.

cows have a big  value. Drivers value the  vehicle . Thai law  makkes owner of a cow  must pay  for vehicle damage. Vehicle has number plate. cow has blood and  guts and sh3t. track owner if you can . If not  can claim dead cow for damage. You want?
