A large concrete slab fell from a transport lorry onto a passing car in the Lat Krabang district of Bangkok, severely damaging the vehicle. Remarkably, the driver escaped with only minor injuries.

 

According to a report shared by the FM91 Trafficpro Facebook page and confirmed by the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, the incident occurred near the entrance of Soi Lat Krabang 54. The slab, which had been loaded onto a truck for a nearby construction project, slipped from the vehicle and crashed onto a private car travelling alongside.

Images from the scene show the car crushed under the weight of the fallen slab. Fortunately, the driver, who has not been named, suffered only minor injuries and was able to exit the vehicle without assistance.

 

Emergency services were called to the scene immediately, and the right-hand lane of the road was temporarily obstructed due to the debris.

 

Local authorities are now investigating the incident.

Very likely not secured to the truck.....this is a common theme in Thailand....either the trucks have no chains or ropes and hope for the best....excavators are rarely chained down...steel tracks on steel truck beds are a disaster in the making....

Bet'cha he's glad he wasn't on a scooter.
