Mr Pitchayakarn's car was severely wrecked.

PHUKET: -- A businessman from Nakhon Ratchassima (Korat) was rushed to hospital on Wednesday evening (January 21) after he crashed his car at speed while heading south along Thepkasattri Rd.

Pitchayakarn Masuk, 40, owner of a video production company in the capital of Isan, missed the notorious Makphrok bend at about 6pm. The car rolled several times before ending up, severely damaged, on the central reservation.

Mr Pitchayakarn was taken to Thalang hospital semi-conscious and with a variety of injuries.

Police believe he either may have fallen asleep at the wheel of the car, or he was not familiar with the road and tried to take the bend too fast.

Spectacular crash

The copywriters treat this like it's something out of a movie. Why glorify dangerous driving?

Are we supposed to give a standing ovation for this spectacular crash?

Epic accident. Looks like he rolled it too. I bet there was a samlor involved . Makphrok bend is full of idiots selling noodles in the middle of the road.
