webfact Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Workers escape injury as giant concrete beam falls on car Picture: Sanook Sanook reported that workers ran for their lives as a giant concrete beam came loose as it was being hoisted by two cranes. The beam sliced one of the workers' cars - a Mitsubishi - in two. The accident happened during construction of a bridge extension that is part of the new Route 6 road between Bang Pa-in and Nakorn Ratchasima. A bridge is being built over a reservoir. The accident happened on Saturday and the beam was still in place when Sanook got there. An investigation is underway.
