webfact Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Rawai, Phuket-In the early hours of Tuesday morning, a serious traffic incident occurred in Rawai, leading to a sequence of accidents that resulted in injuries and significant damage to public infrastructure. At approximately 4:15 A.M., Chalong Police received reports of a collision on a curve in Rawai. Upon arrival, officers discovered a sedan that had collided with a power pole, causing it to fall and bring down electrical cables. The two occupants of the sedan sustained minor injuries. In a related incident on the opposite lane, a minivan collided with an oil truck that had been obstructed by the fallen cables. This second collision led to three individuals in the minivan being injured and an oil spill from the damaged vehicle. All injured parties were promptly transported to a local hospital for treatment.

That would not have happened if the cables ( at least the ones crossing the street ) , would have been buried underground . A constant cause of danger and accidents . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
