Wreckage is strewn across Phuket's main thoroughfare today

Phuket Chain Reaction Crash Puts Two Women in Hospital: Photo Special

Sunday, June 21, 2015
PHUKET: Wreckage was strewn across Phuket's main traffic artery today in a spectacular crash that put two women in hospital.

The women were riding on a motorcycle and the most vulnerable in a chain-reaction smash that occurred when the driver of a silver Toyota lost control of his vehicle in the wet about 10.30am as he headed south towards Phuket City.

Opposite a PTT petrol station, he cannoned into an Isuzu pickup, and the pickup collected a motorcycle with the two women on board.

Luckiest to escape with cuts and bruises was the driver of the silver Toyota, which wrapped itself around a power pole.

His luck may end with his physical safety. Police are aiming to lay charges of careless driving.

The wreckages are showing force full impacts, due to little bit thai speeding. But it was the fault of the wet road.

But will the driver of the Toyota learn from it- doubtful!

Seems that when the wet comes and there are less vehicles on the road some feel the need to go faster, not slower- with the inevitable consequences
