Tyre blowout flips lorry in east Thailand

[snoop1130]

 

A lorry transporting fish suffered a tyre explosion in Rayong, causing the vehicle to flip and crash into a tree, seriously damaging the entire vehicle.

 

The driver, 29 year old Sunthorn Yotdam, sustained injuries, while the fish, primarily tilapia numbering in the thousands, were scattered across the road, resulting in an estimated loss of no less than 100,000 baht.

 

Police from Wang Chan District, Rayong, today received a report of an accident involving a flipped lorry in the middle of the road, causing the transported tilapia to spread across the surface.

 

The lorry tyre explosion incident occurred at the Chawaew Cooperative intersection, on the Ban Bueng-Klaeng road, 83 kilometres from Wang Chan district, Rayong. Authorities coordinated with Wang Chan hospital doctors and Rayong rescue units to assist at the scene.

 

Upon arrival, they discovered a distressed pickup truck parked by the roadside, severely damaged throughout.

When a 1 ton pickup is overloaded to 3 tons it magically turns into a Lorry. AMAZING THAILAND. 

In another story a Lorry tractor unit turned into a Pickup, must have been 'coz it wasn't loaded. ⚡ Cazam ????????‍♂️????????‍♀️

From the linked report:

The driver, Sunthorn, was injured and recounted that he was transporting the tilapia from Chon Buri province to a customer in Trat province. Suddenly, he was startled by the sound of a lorry tyre explosion, which caused him to lose control of the vehicle.
