snoop1130 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 A shocking incident unfolded today when a pickup truck plunged into a drainage canal alongside Vibhavadi Rangsit Road. The driver managed to escape unharmed and reported that the accident occurred while he was swerving to avoid a municipal water truck. Late that night, Police Lieutenant Colonel Theerapoj Thonghet, an investigator at Vibhavadi Police Station, received a report of a pickup truck falling into a drainage canal at the entrance of Soi Vibhavadi 46, Lat Yao subdistrict, Chatuchak district, Bangkok. On the scene, they found a white Toyota Hilux pickup truck with the license plate number 3733 Udonthani, entirely submerged in the canal. The driver of the pickup truck, 36 year old Chawalit was found safe on the bank with minor injuries but declined to be taken to the hospital. The operation to recover the vehicle from the canal took more than an hour. Chawalit recounted driving from the Victory Monument using the outbound side of Vibhavadi Road. He planned to make a U-turn to head back home towards the Ratchadaphisek area.

Initially, Chawalit expressed no intention to press charges as the incident did not result in any property damage. for what ? and what does this even mean ? encountered. was it of the 4th kind or ? As he neared the accident site, which has a hump bridge over the drainage canal, he encountered a district office water truck watering plants, leading him to brake suddenly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Thai Navy might be interested in this Thai-created submarine technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
