“A crane was brought in to pull the truck out of a ditch. The driver, Somparn Talunai, 42, escaped with minor injuries,” said Lt Col Somneuk Dumkaew of the Kamala Police.
Mr Somparn was delivering fruit from Pathum Thani to customers in Patong.
“He lost control of the truck on a bend while going down the hill and collided with the roadside barrier,” said Lt Col Somneuk.
Police impounded the truck and charged Mr Somparn with reckless driving and causing damage to property.
