Pattaya, Thailand – A pickup truck in Pattaya lost control during heavy rain and crashed into a power pole, resulting in three injuries.
The incident occurred on Tuesday evening, when the city was experiencing a strong downpour. The pickup truck, which was carrying four passengers, was traveling along Sukhumvit Road when the driver lost control of the vehicle. The truck then collided with a power pole, causing significant damage to both the vehicle and the pole.
Emergency services were immediately called to the scene and were able to rescue the passengers from the damaged truck. Three of the passengers sustained injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The fourth passenger was unharmed.
According to eyewitnesses, the heavy rain and wet road conditions may have contributed to the driver losing control of the pickup truck. The driver, who remained at the scene, stated that he was unable to see the power pole due to the heavy rain.
Local authorities have reminded drivers to exercise caution during heavy rain and to adjust their speed accordingly. They have also urged drivers to regularly check their vehicles for any potential issues that may arise during adverse weather conditions.
The damaged power pole caused a temporary power outage in the surrounding area, but it was quickly restored by the local electricity company.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to always prioritize safety and to be mindful of weather conditions while on the road. We wish a speedy recovery to those injured in the accident.
