webfact Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Video: Scary moment as motorcyclist escapes mobile crane with "brake failure" Picture: video screenshot BANGKOK: -- A scary video is doing the rounds of Thai social media that shows a mobile crane colliding with a traffic light and crushing a motorcycle. The accident happened in the Tiwanon area of Pathum Thani and the CCTV footage was shared to Youlike. It shows a mobile crane approaching parked cars at the San Mae Ooi intersection. The driver appears to suffer brake failure and avoids cars in his path by veering to the left, reported Sanook. Despite not going fast he is still unable to stop and collides with a traffic light. A waiting motorcyclist realizes the peril he is in and tries to move out of the way. He appears to get free but his bike is crushed as the crane comes to a halt some meters own the road. Sanook.com said that the intersection was well known for incidents of this nature. It was not reported if the motorcyclist suffered any injury.

They just need to figure out which animal is the spirit animal of that intersection and then put down hundreds of little statues of that animal. That will fix it.

scotchonrocks Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 The motor cycle rider certainly had an Angel looking after him. Note the way the traffic light pole was pushed over as the crane came through. The m/Clist was lucky to stay in the narrow channel between the crane as it passed through and the traffic light pole. Tight space alright!! Hope he bought a lottery ticket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
