Several hurt when Honda smashes into Ban Chang restaurant

BAN CHANG:-- Several of Ban Chang-area residents were injured when a Chonburi doctor lost control of his minivan, crashing it into a busy restaurant.

No one was killed when Dr. Theerawat Somphiwong’s Honda CRV smashed into two parked cars at two neighboring food outlets in the Samnuk Thonn neighborhood Dec. 3, but a 74-year-old vendor was severely injured.

The car, which pushed the two parked vehicles into the eatery after being cut off by a motorbike, finally stopped after crushing a table full of Royal Thai Navy pilots, who avoided death, but all sustained injuries. Theerawat also sustained cuts and bruises.

A friend of mine had just parked his vehicle a few feet from where the accident pushed the two vehicles into the steak restaurant, opposite the old aircraft at u-tapoe airport. The New crv was heading to ban chang from kilosip at a speed when it swerved to avoid a motorcycle pulling out of the side road next to the fried banana stall, it lost control and pushed the two parked vehicles into the steak house.It didn't stop my friend from eating his noodles, but he only gets take away now.
