A dramatic car accident in Nakhon Ratchasima saw a woman escape uninjured after her new BMW veered off a curve and struck a power pole in Phimai district early yesterday morning.

 

The incident took place on Phimai-Chumphuang Road in Tambon Rangka Yai at 6.49am, yesterday, August 11. CCTV footage revealed the white BMW, still bearing red plates, approaching the curve at high speed. Sparks flew as the car’s undercarriage scraped the tarmac before it spun out of control and collided with a roadside power pole.

 

The 39 year old, driver, a resident of Tambon Rangka Yai, Orakan Petsamrit, was found unscathed but visibly shaken. Eyewitnesses on the scene confirmed her condition and transported her to Phimai Hospital for a precautionary check-up.

 

Police have not yet conducted a formal interview with Orakan to ascertain the precise cause of the crash, reported Bangkok Post.

I don't think they'll need to look very far.

Surely it was a car defect or poor and wet road condition. 

 

It's every BMW and Benz car owners God given right to travel at twice the speed limit in Thailand. 

 

Stupid woman, destroyed a beautiful car.

I suppose they have to ask the questions,  but excessive speed is fairly obvious I'd have thought.

It was the cars fault , that's what she will be saying , it's never the drivers.

plus why is it nearly every time these drivers go off the road , they hit a tree or an electric pole ?

Because they are, by far the most prominent features standing by roadside. It would be more difficult NOT to hit one.
