Car repair shop owner survives truck accident in Udon Thani
A car repair shop owner narrowly avoided a fatal accident while test-driving a customer’s vehicle. The incident occurred yesterday, February 25, in Udon Thani province, when the truck overturned due to slippery conditions from rain. Emergency services quickly transported the injured person to the hospital.
The accident took place around 4.51pm on the road between Wang Sam Mo district and Ban Nong Phai. CCTV footage captured the moment when a bronze Isuzu four-door pickup truck was driven at high speed, resulting in the vehicle overturning several times before coming to rest with its wheels facing upwards.
The injured party, a man between 40 and 50 years old, was identified as the owner of a local repair shop. After completing repairs on a customer’s vehicle, he took it for a test drive.
The combination of high speed and light rain made the road slippery, causing the truck to lose control and overturn multiple times, reported KhaoSod.
Rescue volunteers from the Wang Sam Mo VR Rescue team, along with an emergency vehicle and equipment, promptly arrived at the scene. They worked swiftly to extract the injured man from the wreckage and transported him to Wang Sam Mo Hospital for urgent medical attention.
