Yet another incident has occurred on Rama II Road. A pickup truck driver, travelling normally in the express lane beneath an elevated highway, was injured after a large concrete slab fell onto his vehicle.

 

At around 07:40 on 29 April, the Sri Samut Radio Centre, operated by the Samut Sakhon Charity Foundation, received a report of an incident on the outbound lanes of Rama II Road, under the elevated road into Bangkok. Rescue personnel were immediately dispatched to the scene.

 

 

Upon arrival, responders found a pickup truck pulled over on the right-hand shoulder. The male driver had sustained injuries, including a laceration beneath his chin and abrasions to his chest and left arm, believed to have been caused by the impact.

Preliminary reports indicate that the driver was travelling normally when a large piece of concrete suddenly fell onto the windscreen of his vehicle, causing the injuries. It is suspected that the concrete slab fell from construction works related to the Rama II expressway project.

 

Rescue teams provided emergency first aid at the scene before transporting the injured driver to Vibharam Samut Sakhon Hospital for further treatment.

 

Authorities are investigating the source of the fallen concrete.
