webfact Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Two escape injury as car splits in two, bursts into flames in Bangkok Thai caption: Car split into two. PICTURES: Sanook A Thai man and his girlfriend escaped totally uninjured after he lost control on the expressway slip road leading to Ngam Wong Wan Road and his car split into two and caught fire. Sanook reported that Pol Capt Yongyuth of the Muang Nonthaburi police at the scene of the accident early in the morning expected to find victims in the front of the car. It was ten meters from the rear half that had exploded in flames. The fire was put out by the expressway fire team. But the front of the car was empty. Sitting on grass nearby was the driver Thai, 29, and his girlfriend. Thai had a slight red mark on his neck but that was all. He said he had been taking his girlfriend home when he hit a rock and lost control. As he collided with a barrier the car split in two and the airbags deployed. He couldn't see much after that. He took off his seat belt and helped his girlfriend too. He said that wearing seat belts saved their lives. A crane was used to clear up the mess and keep the area safe. Thai was taken in for questioning and looks set to face negligent driving charges when the CCTV has been examined.

Always thought the bill for the clean up should be added to the fine, including the police hours for those fine young hard working officers disturbed from their crystal saga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And exactly why a wise person should never buy a secondhand car in Thailand given the number of car wrecks daily and no checking of back yard repairers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear half may have been a civic but the front half could well be the cab of a Royal Thai post vehicle. The clue here is the postbox, now painted blue, on top of the bonnet ????????

Pretty common around that area. It's a Subaru Impreza WRX or STI, there's no Civic in it. Grafting half-Impreza bodies to half-Civic bodies is not "pretty common" here! Transplanting engines, maybe, but different manufacturers' bodies, I don't think so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
