The incident occurred near the Chatuchot Ring Road, at the entrance to Soi Nong Rahaeng 7, on Kanchanaphisek Road in Klong Sam Wa district, Bangkok.

 

Emergency responders, including officers from the Expressway Authority of Thailand and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, were dispatched to the scene.

The vehicle was severely damaged and inside the wreckage, the driver was found deceased at the wheel, with multiple injuries.

I have seen cars doing the same sort of thing, all throughout my life.

 

This is why I wonder why we still drive them.

 

In recent years, I have stopped riding in cars, unless, on rare occasions, I have no other choice.

 

Too many are killed in automobiles....

 

This is why I prefer to order online, so that I need not ride in cars....on my way to the shopping centers.

 

Stay safe.

Don't ride in automobiles, is my best thinking.....

 

 

One other obvious observation:

 

The driver is not at fault, in any case.

 

It is Big G.

 

What is Big G?

Put simply:

 

What goes up, must come down.

 

Also, the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects.

 

If ONLY this driver had been driving on the Moon, he need not have had such a hard landing, as on planet Earth.

 

So, choose your planet wisely, anytime you decide to drive off an elevated bridge...I guess....is the lesson here.

Hiding under your bed 7/24 would be even more effective. Why don't you try that?
