A fatal accident occurred in Chon Buri when a pickup truck collided with a parked bus and electrocution ensued due to the impact on a high-voltage electric post, causing three sections to snap. The driver of the pickup lost his life, along with his severed leg which was discovered nearby.

 

Sub-lieutenant Mongkol Siriwech, Deputy Investigation Officer of Saen Suk Police Station, received the report on the fatal accident at 5am today. The accident occurred on Khao Lam Road, near the fish market curve towards Bang Saen, in Saen Suk, Chon Buri. As the news was relayed, emergency units from Tai Kunatham Foundation were dispatched.

 

The scene of the fatal accident displayed a bronze Nissan Navara, license plate ผผ 5139 Chon Buri, the pickup in question, which was wrecked beyond recognition. Within the remnants of the vehicle, rescuers discovered the lifeless body of the 64 year old driver, Solod. His leg had been severed by the force of the crash. It took the rescue team over 20 minutes to extract Solod’s body using specialist equipment.

One of the 1st newspaper reports I read nearly 20 years back carried a photo of a cop proudly holding up a severed leg like a fisherman with a prize catch.

It's not lost, I've got it here.

Total amulet failure by the look of that wreckage along with the right leg is my guess????

He was going very fast. Fortunately no one else was injured. One less maniac off the roads. RIP

Thankfully not with a 79 baht per kilo sign stuck in it. 

Pickup truck collides with bus parked on the right of way in the early morning hours... we don't know why but driver doesn't have a leg to stand on.

How on earth do you crash a car and your leg fly out the window ?

Shocking.
