Amid incessant rainfall in Nakhon Si Thammarat, a vehicle was swept away by a powerful stream of water, causing a young interior decorator to plunge into a waterfall.

 

The incident occurred around 10am today at a flooded water gate between Moo 6 and Moo 1, Thon Hong Subdistrict, Phrom Khiri District. This resulted from the continuous rain that began yesterday afternoon and shows no signs of stopping.

 

The pick-up truck belonging to the interior decorator was crossing a waterway en route to a customer’s job site in Wang Lung Village, Thon Hong Subdistrict. As the vehicle drove on a flooded road, a violent water stream swept it away, preventing any reverse or acceleration.

 

The vehicle was subsequently swept into Lung’s waterfall. Fortunately, both the driver and the passenger managed to escape from the vehicle and asked residents for help. They informed rescue officers to save the vehicle stuck in the violent water stream.
