webfact Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Image courtesy of Khaosod Online A 54 year old woman in Chiang Mai, Thailand, sustained severe burns and had to have her arm amputated after a powerful storm toppled a large tree, which subsequently caused a high-voltage electric cable to fall onto her. The incident occurred on Thursday, June 1, and the victim remains in hospital receiving treatment for her injuries. During the storm, the woman, Pimchai Woraseloy, sought shelter under a high-voltage power line when she noticed a large, dead tree about to fall. Unfortunately, the tree fell onto the power line, causing the cable to sag and make contact with her body. This resulted in severe burns on various parts of her body, particularly her right arm, and she subsequently needed her arm and some of her toes amputated to save her life. by Nattapong Westwood Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/woman-54-severely-burnt-by-fallen-high-voltage-power-line-after-storm -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-06-06 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
