A red Ferrari veered off course and plunged into a canal. The accident happened near the Chocolate View restaurant on Prasert-Manukitch Road in the Khan Na Yao district. Authorities were quickly notified of the incident, and a team of emergency responders and volunteers from the Siam United Foundation were dispatched to the location.
Upon arrival, the responders found the supercar submerged in the canal, with its front window shattered and significant damage to its bodywork.

The police are conducting thorough inquiries to determine the exact cause of the accident. They are examining the vehicle for any mechanical failures that may have contributed to the incident and are interviewing the driver and witnesses to piece together the moments leading up to the crash.
