webfact Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 A tragic accident occurred in Ratchaburi, where a 40 year old man lost his life after his car slid into a canal while he was resting. Authorities rushed to the scene, discovering the vehicle submerged in water, and now suspect the car was placed in neutral gear, leading to the accident. Early this morning, local authorities received reports of a car being submerged in a canal, with one person trapped inside, in the Mueang district of Ratchaburi province. When they arrived with rescue teams and a crane to lift the car out of the water, they found the lifeless body of Thanaphon, the 40 year old driver, trapped inside the vehicle. There were no visible signs of injury, and it is estimated that he had been dead for about an hour before being discovered, reported KhaoSod. Investigations revealed that the car’s gear was in neutral and had slid approximately 1 kilometre from where it was initially parked. Tire tracks were found at the edge of the canal, as well as evidence of the car falling into the canal before floating downstream to the location where villagers found it. by Nattapong Westwood Picture courtesy of Nat Nongphai Facebook.

PETERTHEEATER Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 In order to slide the wheels must have been locked. Unfortunately, there were no obstructions for over a kilometer to stop the car. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
