A fatal accident occurred when a factory owner’s vehicle plunged into a canal, in Nonthaburi. The incident took place last night, near the canal on Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi. The unfortunate car plunge was reported to Prut Jamsanson, Bang Bua Thong police station’s commander, and Apisit Momnitykul, an investigating officer.

 

The vehicle, owned by the factory owner, had skidded off the road and into the canal. Upon inspection, six roadside reflector posts were found knocked down, and tyre marks were leading into the canal. The vehicle, a Toyota van, was registered under the name of 60 year old Panas. Panas was identified as the managing director of a metalworking factory, located near the accident scene.

 

Despite initial uncertainty about the occupants of the submerged vehicle, rescue workers and divers from the Po Tek Tung Foundation were able to locate and retrieve the submerged vehicle after a search lasting more than an hour.

 

The vehicle was found approximately 150 metres from the fall point, about 10 metres from the shore, and at a depth of about 4 metres. One body was recovered from the vehicle, a man aged around 60 years. The identity of the man matched that of Panas, the registered owner of the vehicle.

Perhaps theunfortunate man had a medical episode.  RIP.

The roadside damage and the distance from the shore the car was located at would suggest very  high speed at entry.

Whether he was a good boss or not, he didn't deserve to go out that way.

I disagree. I am not one to shed false tears or make false platitudes over horrible people.

But you are one to make unpleasant comments of someone you do not know in the slightest?
