A US rescue team may be able to retrieve the rental car belonging to two Thai students, which plunged over a cliff and was partly submerged in a river in California in late June, earlier than expected as water levels in the river have fallen.
 

The Thai Consulate General in Los Angeles was informed on Wednesday of the latest update, which contradicted an earlier report that efforts to reach the car could take a month due to the strong river current and geographical conditions.

 

There is an extra urgency to retrieve the car amid fears that it could be swept away by the river current.

 

Postgraduate students Thiwadee Sangsuriyarit, 24, and Bhakapon Chairatanatongporn, 28, of South Florida University went missing late last month as they were driving on a highway towards Kings Canyon National Park in California.

 

Thai Consul General Tanee Sangrat on Wednesday met with Highway Patrol officers and inspected the area on the highway where the car apparently went off the road and plunged over the cliff.

 

The Consulate General’s Facebook page published a photo gallery showing Tanee’s visit to the highway, including photos showing damaged highway barriers.

Late June?

That is one VERY flimsy looking barrier when you consider that there is a 500 ft cliff behind it !

Think a bit more...

 

Maybe they need to salvage the car to check if there are any bodies inside.

Possibly because the students are still in the car!
