WRONG TURN?

Drunk driver takes road less traveled, delays train

BANGKOK: -- An intoxicated man drove his car two kilometres up a railway track in Bangkok Monday, a stunt that will earn about Bt96,000-fine, officials said.

State Railways of Thailand governor Prapas Chongsanguan said the driver and his five companions would be fined Bt96,000 baht for causing a two-hour delay to a passenger train, Thai Rath newspaper reported.

Police said the 24-year-old driver claimed he had gotten lost and decided to drive up the train track in search of an exit.

A blood test indicated the man was intoxicated at the time of the pre-dawn incident. A rescue team failed to remove the car from the tracks, forcing them to back it up two kilometres in order to clear the line.
