SOME things in life are difficult to explain and precisely how this vehicle came to rest at this point on Phuket's Karon Hill is one of them.
The driver escaped from the crash with minor injuries when the car left the road surface before dawn today.
However, there was no escaping the attention that followed once the sun came up and other passersby could see where the car had finished up, up being the operative word.
After being quite a tourist attraction for several hours, the vehicle was eventually lifted down from the hillside this afternoon.
And just like one of Roger Federer's amazing trick tennis shots, the general feeling was that this crash couldn't be repeated, even with several attempts.
