Chonburi — A sedan crashed into a streetlight on a median strip at a Chonburi bypass before bursting into flames today, June 18th. The driver and his passenger, however, miraculously survived the accident.

 

Sawang Boriboon rescuers responded to a traffic accident reported at 5 AM today on a Pattaya-Rayong bypass within the Nong Pla Lai sub-district of Banglamung district, Chonburi province.

 

At the accident scene, a bronze Honda City sedan was found to have collided with a streetlight pole, causing the pole to collapse. The car had then plunged into the median strip, and a fierce fire broke out in the vehicle, with two unidentified people trapped inside.

From the link:

There was a fire blazing in the car, so he quickly ran to help and found two injured individuals who he said seemed to be intoxicated and unconscious inside the car. He removed them from the vehicle before the fire intensified.

 

Nuff said.

'seemed to be intoxicated and unconscious inside the car.'  Will Pattaya police bother to breathalise them or does it depend who their father is?

They were very fortunate indeed that someone was there to rescue them.

 

The standard of driving here is deplorable, but they are unable to do anything about it as they can't organise or manage and don't have a proper Police force.
