A 27-year-old woman driving a sedan encountered a sudden turn by another vehicle, prompting her to swerve and collide with a barrier, resulting in flames engulfing her car. Quick-thinking bystanders helped her escape the fiery wreck.

 

Lt. Col. Somkid Boonyaloi, deputy chief of the Sri Racha Police Station, received reports of a sedan crashing into a barrier and catching fire on Sukhumvit Road, inbound to Sri Racha, Bang Phra sub-district, Chonburi province, picture Daily News. 

 

 

At the crash site, a red Honda Civic with Chonburi license plate number พ 2334 was found wedged against the barrier, engulfed in flames. Nearby, Miss Thawalrat (surname withheld), 24, was identified as the driver, injured and in shock.

 

 

Another sedan, a white Honda City with Bangkok license plate number 2 ขท 2895, was parked nearby, with Miss Jiraporn (surname withheld), 27, identified as the driver, waiting for police assistance.

 

Thawalrat stated that she swerved to avoid a turning vehicle, unaware of the barrier, leading to the collision.

 

 

Jiraporn reported that she didn't notice any vehicles on the straight road but was struck by Thawalrat's car as it turned, causing the fiery crash.

 

Both drivers were treated for minor injuries, and further investigations are underway at the Sri Racha Police Station to determine liability and cover damages.

Driving to close to the vehicle in front does not give you time to respond to the actions of the said vehicle  , also , using your phone while driving will end with the same result......
