Eyewitnesses found several power and communication cables hanging dangerously low, threatening road users. A damaged internet cable approximately three meters long lay broken on the road, while another lengthy cable was tangled around a roadside sign. Additionally, a nearby broken tree branch was likely involved in the accident, having been pulled down by the force of the cable.

Panya was on his way to join fellow rescue volunteers when the cable caught around his neck, causing him to lose control of his motorcycle. He reported the potential severity of the incident and called for responsible agencies to address loose cables to prevent future accidents. Panya plans to file a complaint against the company responsible for cable maintenance.

Local authorities are urged to promptly address these hazards to avert further accidents. Implementation of stricter cable management protocols is essential. Ongoing public safety measures will be crucial in ensuring the safety of road users in the area.
