Power pole pins car to Phuket hillside

However strange the final result, the crash could have been far worse for the driver, who escaped uninjured.

PHUKET: -- A young driver, caught off-guard by the slippery roads brought on by pre-dawn deluges this morning, lost control of the Nissan NV he was between Chalong and Kata.

The vehicle slid up an embankment, coming to rest wedged between the embankment and a power pole, pinning the driver’s door shut.

Amazingly, the driver suffered no injuries in the accident and managed to get out of the wreck unassisted.

"wet roads" Since when does water from an earlier rain change anything to driving?

I know its slipery on a motorbike or on roller blades.. but with a car? hel_l no... they cant just write it like it is? drunk driver or maniac driver drives into the mountain and hits pole?

You clearly have never had a Nissan NV, these vehicles are so light in the rear that it takes very little for it to brake away.
