Unbelievable dash cam footage of car crash in Thailand

[Thaivisa Video]

Dash cam footage shows a driver losing control of his vehicle and nearly colliding with another car, before careering off the road in Phu Thap Boek, Phetchabun province in northern Thailand.

As serious as the crash looks, incredibly the driver of the car, along with a passenger escaped with only minor injuries.

The white car just drove off like nothing happened…..lol.

Was probably texting on Facebook at the time and missed it all... !!

We Fortuner drivers (or is it a me-too MU-7?) wouldn't be seen dead mixing it with people we haven't been formally introduced to.

Think the person in the black car was quite polite to crash the car over the railing instead of crashing into the white SUV cowardly 'running off'.

But it was a flash...darn; maybe the white car driver didn't even realize what happened.

Edit: At least the dash cam driver stopped and might have a helping hand???

It looked fairly normal Thai driving.

Luckly​ the wall took must of the impact from the car. Looks like the occupancy will get to see another new year. Buckle up and drive safe focks, theres a hell of lot of manics out there and some of them are known to drive.

What an absolutely flaming idiot. He will be awarded the worst driver of 2015. Did he not see the approaching curve in the road? Was this a simple IQ issue, a lack of training, or utter mindlessness? He got his 15 minutes of fame. But, what a thing to be famous for.

Aussiandrew... that's enough for now.

Failing brakes, obviuos. It wasn't me!

[asdecas]

Clearly the driver was fleeing the scene before the crash - clever fella!

Why are you 3 posters so far so quick to criticise? The white car was on a sharp bend and on double lines and unable to get off the road because of the cement barrier. He/she was possibly moving around the bend to a safe place to park. Give them the benefit of the doubt.

[Briggsy]

I am not sure the airbags and other safety features in cars nowadays are such a good idea. They allow the utterly selfish moron driving this black Honda to survive and go on and have another crack at killing other innocent road users.

In line with standard police training or the lack of any standard training, the policeman has decided the best way to free the trapped occupants is to kick the car.

Nope. He drove off.

I have never seen anyone think about parking in a safe place here in LoS.

[MockingJay]

Think some of the posts here, as well as the "sneaking off" SUV, clearly show to what low "civilisation" did sink in the past years...

[TKDfella]

I don't know how many posters here know that part of the country but the winding hill roads there are dangerous if speeding down. The black car appears to going much to fast (common here) while going up the hills one usually has to use the lower gears.

Lucky numbers 6751!

Probably scarred of getting blame , if he tried to help them and they died.

Doesn't make you feel safe if you had an accident and no help arrived.

[Jimbo1954]

Driver still in car. See first pic. clutching handbag?

I live about 30 kms from there and the numbers of people coming here in these cooler months means only one thing,more unnecessary accidents such as this.

The area is becoming overwhelmed by people,as usual a lack of sanitary,waste facilities and poor roads means this unspoilt area is rapidly becoming a free for all.

The General sent some people up here a few weeks back to address the situation,as of yet I see no change.

In fact the road from route 12 to Phu Tab Berk is under construction being widened from two lanes to four.

Expect many more problems,accidents and news stories in the coming months.

Terrible shame,the same thing happened and continues to happen in neighbouring Khao Khor,wonderful lands being destroyed by greed,corruption and a complete lack of education and awareness for ones surroundings.

Judging from the condition of the top of the concrete barrier, the Honda is not the first car over the wall in that location. Bad drivers and dangerous roads make for likely accidents. I have driven over the mountain from Pattaya to Korat and back many times and there is ALWAYS at least one moron who drives as if he is on a racecourse. Darwin's theory gets a good workout on these roads.

[deepcell]

I know this road, it is insane driving there. Lots of sharp curve, no signals at all, lots of trucks, and everyone driving so fast. Really Insane!

[maxdyddou]

Everyday it's like that in thailang : give a credit and buy a car, doesn't matter you know or not to drive important stay sell a cars, good taxes, good for "economy", never forget Thaîland is a second country in the WOLD for people died on the road, and you know the first place is for tomorrow with this style to see the things. Ok You want a video like that, you can do 100 per day, it's really pity, when a thai people need to have a real licence to drive? when they will stop to phone and more SMS? Really i'm Terrified, drive in thailand it's like you play a russian roulette....

[JeffreyO]

Pretty sure I rode in this taxi, wait, not the same guy? Drives the same.

[Radar501]

As the car slid across the concrete barrier, a horrible thought crossed the driver's mind, "Hang on, I'm not on my skateboard!!"

Yes.

They probably parked further up the road, then came back to get the lottery numbers.

"Think the person in the black car was quite polite to crash the car over the railing instead of crashing into the white SUV cowardly 'running off'." In Thailand, if you have to stop each time you see a coward crashing a car, you cannot be safe.
