snoop1130 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 A 21 year old Thai man yesterday thanked his lucky stars after only sustaining minor injuries when driving his car at a high speed, crashing into two vehicles in front of him, before falling off a bridge onto Rama V Intersection in Nonthaburi province near Bangkok. The accident occurred on the bridge over Nakhon-in Road and Rama V Intersection at around 11.30am yesterday, May 26. The Facebook page, FM91 Trafficpro, shared dashcam footage of the accident drawing numerous complaints about the injured driver, 21 year old Nattawut. In the video, the grey Honda Jazz subcompact car is seen driving at high speed in the left lane and attempting to pass between two vehicles, an Isuzu D-Max pickup in the left lane and a Mitsubishi Expander SUV in the middle lane. The gap between the two cars was too narrow for any vehicle to pass, causing the Honda to hit both vehicles. The SUV was seen swerving to the left and hitting the Honda, causing it to fall off the bridge. There was no report on whether the SUV driver intended to hit the Honda Jazz but netizens expressed their impression of the act. Many of them condemned the Honda driver and agreed that he deserved the injury because of his reckless driving. Channel 7 reported that the Mitsubishi SUV exhibited crash damage on its left side, with its front left wheel blown off. Similarly, the Isuzu pickup sustained damage at the rear, resulting in a broken tail light. An officer from the Nonthaburi Provincial Police, Watcharapong Chomkaew, told Channel 7 that the accident was first reported to Bang Kruai Police Station and later to the Nonthaburi Provincial Police. Watcharapong stated that officers had not yet investigated the cause of the accident and had not received an update on Nattawut’s condition. A rescuer from the Ruam Katanyu Foundation, Kiattisak Buaklup, revealed that Nattawut was not under the influence of alcohol. He sustained minor injuries to his mouth and chest.

Viewing the video I find it hard to come to that conclusion... The Honda Jazz hit the two vehicles at speed, flipped and was instantly thrown over the barrier... neither innocent victims had time to react before it was over. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Classic Ray Posted May 27 Popular Post Share Posted May 27 Not accident, but a collision caused by the reckless driving of one of the drivers. Accidents happen when there is no conscious action, eg a previously unknown vehicle defect or road surface collapse. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korat Kiwi Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 That was better than some Hollywood movies! Idiot speeding (Probably faulty brakes) Hits 2 vehicles and flips onto one which promptly puts him over the side of the bridge. I imagine anyone below the bridge would have been in for a shock. 21yr old driver travelling way too fast for the conditions. Dumb arse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lived in Bangkok I was convinced that I would die in a taxi that launched off such a bridge. Now I live up-country I am convinced I'll die in a head-on collision with a vehicle hurtling towards me on my side of the road. The last three times I've been out I've had to stop or slow and pull over to the side of the road to escape death. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case - I just can't see how the guy did this... he must have fallen asleep, or was using his phone etc.. I just don't see how he can drive into the back of other quickly moving vehicles like that - its mind-boggling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
