Power pole collapse onto car Soi Lengkee 30 Oct.

[Villapete]

Yesterday morning (30th Oct) I was on the back of a win motorbike turning into Soi Lengkee J/W 3rd Road. I saw that a small car had its front crushed beneath a powerpole that appeaared to had toppled onto it. My win did not want to hang around and he just drove over the wires and carried on. From what I could see; (1) I think the driver / occupants of the car had had a lucky escape (hopefully, I assume) and, (2) nothing had appeared to have crashed into the pole to cause it to topple onto the car and across the road. I have been surprised to see nothing about this on the local news as it certainly was at least a close call and I am curious as to why the pole collapsed, although not surprised.

 

Any info, updates appreciated.
