richard_smith237 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 How any survives let alone walks away from such a mangled mess is astonishing... That is on very very lucky chap. That said, I wonder how the accident occurred in the first place because that is some very serious damage, the car has been crushed like an empty coke can... there must have been some significant speed involved.

Moonlover Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Wow, what a lucky guy. Also lucky that there are skilful rescue services to hand. A graphic example of just how dangerous these tree filled ditches are. I can't think of a more deadly way of lining the roadside. I'm encouraged to see though that on recent widening projects on R22/223 (Udon Thani to That Thanon, they are installing solid raised mediums. They may not prevent the accidents, but at least the impact will be lessened. Maybe the highways authority have realised, at long last that they need to build 'forgiving highways'.

Agreed that the tree filled mediums are lethal, but the do prevent an errant driver (car) from crossing into oncoming traffic. As you mention, the only reasonable method to prevent excessive deviation is the solid median, its just safer all round, but more expensive to install and maintain - First World problem in a Third World country....

ezzra Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The drive must have been made out of rubber or some other elastic material otherwise there's no possible explanations how can anyone walk away from such a crumpled mess.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The median strip or central reservation is the reserved area that separates opposing lanes of traffic on divided roadways, such as divided highways, dual carriageways, freeways, and motorways. The term also applies to divided roadways other than highways, such as some major streets in urban or suburban areas.

It's even more modified now, and that's a pretty good guess I'd say. You don't do that much damage to a car, even with trees , without significant speed being involved.
