PHUKET: -- The hopper of a cement lorry got caught in electricity cables in Rawai yesterday bringing down two pylons and leaving a pickup truck damaged and local residents without power for six hours.

 

Chalong Police were informed of an incident on Soi Samakee, Saiyuan Rd in Rawai yesterday afternoon (Feb 27) where a cement lorry had brought down electricity pylons after getting its hopper caught in overhead cables.

 

Lt Col Khanan Somrak of the Chalong Police together with Mr Supphawat Khunnaluk, a committee member from Chalong Municipality and officials from the Chalong Provincial Electricity Authority office arrived at the scene to find a cement truck stopped in the middle of the road with a large bundle of cables caught around its hopper at the rear of the vehicle.

 

Two electricity pylons had been pulled down as a result of the accident and a pickup truck had sustained slight damage after one of the pylons fell on top of it.

What business do the police have in determining who will pay for damages? Next why include the fellow who was setting in his pickup when one of the poles fell on his truck. He , the cement truck owner, electric provider , insurance, should be be able to work things out without the involvment of maybe the most inept group of people in this country, bib
