The segment of an overpass in Bangkok’s Lat Krabang district collapsed on July 10th, causing two fatalities and 13 injuries. It was a major incident which shocked people in Bangkok. This accident is not, however, the first.

 

Back on September 30th, 2022, a support beam in a U-turn flyover bridge, undergoing maintenance, collapsed onto the busy Rama II Road in Samut Sakhon province. The incident caused two deaths. One person was in his car and another was supervising the maintenance work. Two others were injured.

 

It was reported that workers were about to pour cement on the flyover bridge, in front of the Vibharam Hospital, when the beam suddenly collapsed onto cars on the in-bound lanes below.
