Truck crash on Patong Hill

PATONG: This 6-wheel Hino flatbed truck, which lost control on Phrabarami Rd in Patong at about 4 pm Wednesday afternoon, finally came to rest when it hit an electric power pylon.

Under questioning at Kathu Police Station, the uninjured driver said his brakes failed.

Kathu Police Superintendent Col Grissak Songmoonnark was first at the scene, directing traffic by himself while a tow company tried to figure-out how to get the truck out of a roadside drainage ditch.

Fortunately there were no injuries or power outages, only a traffic back up.
