webfact Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 An investigation is underway to determine the circumstances surrounding a car accident, as a local man from Chalong, Phuket lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a tree. The car crash took place in Mai Khao when the man was entering the island late afternoon. The report of the car accident reached the Tha Chatchai Police at 4.55pm. The crash happened in Moo 5, Thepkrasattri Rd, directly opposite Ban Tha Chatchai Mosque. The incident triggered the immediate mobilisation of rescue workers from the Mai Khao Tambon Administrative Organisation and the Kusoldharm Foundation of Phuket. When the team arrived at the car accident scene, they found a four-door Isuzu registered to Phuket that had veered off the southbound lane and sustained significant damage due to the collision. Inside the wreckage was Piya Channarong, a 43 year old inhabitant of Moo 1, Chalong, who had suffered a head injury; however, he was conscious when the rescue team arrived. Unfortunately, Piya’s legs were trapped within the wreckage, halting any immediate attempts to retrieve him. by Mitch Connor TOP: A Phuket man lost control of his car, smashing into trees and pinning his legs in the accident.

gomangosteen Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Thairath gives a slightly different version of this 'accident' - a ghost story In a variation from the more common 'brake failure' the driver stated that it felt like someone else's hands took over the steering wheel. The insurance claim could mention this ghost passenger, seems plausible enough! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 No curves or hills, amazing what these drivers can achieve, on a straight road, with a high curb and still managed to go off road and face the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
