The car smashed into a power pole today.

PHUKET: -- A Phuket driver managed to escape injury after he fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into a power pole on Thepkrassatri Rd in Baan Lipon area in Thalang at around 5.30am this morning (November 4).

Police said Anusak Srikwhan, the driver of the car, said he was driving to Phuket International Airport when he dozed off, and crashed his car into an electricity pole and a phone booth.

Rather surprisingly, Mr Anusak escaped without injury. Some debris from the smash flew off and hit a car being driven by Weerapong Wongsaard. His car was damaged but he was also uninjured.

Power was cut to the Baan Lipon area for several hours.
