If you’re heading that way, it’s on the Patong side east bound lane, blocking one lane (at least) just before the first hairpin turn heading up the hill. That’s gonna jam some stuff up.

Was going that way soon. Maybe give it a miss. Thanks for the heads up.

Break failure not even mentioned? That's strange.
