A Honda CR-V crashed into three power poles in Chachoengsao Province on the night of 12 January, causing widespread power outages. The driver fled the scene, leaving authorities still trying to locate the individual responsible.

 

At approximately 21:00, Pol. Lt. Napadon Thaweechart, an investigator from Bang Pakong Police Station, received a report of an accident on Sukhumvit Road near the Grand Village, Moo 1, Bang Samak Subdistrict, Bang Pakong District, Chachoengsao.

 

Upon arriving at the scene, officers found three toppled power poles, one of which had collapsed onto the roof on the Honda CR-V with Bangkok registration plate. The driver was not present at the scene, prompting an immediate search of the surrounding area.

 

The crash resulted in the two other power poles falling across the road, creating an obstruction and plunging the area into darkness. Residents in the vicinity experienced significant disruption as the power outage spread across a wide area.

 

Electricity authorities were promptly notified and dispatched repair crews to restore power. Local residents expressed frustration over the incident, citing the inconvenience caused by the unexpected blackout.

 

Police conducted an initial search for the driver in nearby areas but were unable to locate them. Investigators plan to use the vehicle’s registration details to track down the owner and hold them accountable for the damage caused to public infrastructure. Legal action will also be pursued.

 

Authorities have urged the driver to come forward and cooperate with the investigation to address the damages incurred.
