Cement truck juggernaut demolishes small car, driver safe [Video]

PHUKET: A cement truck jumped a median strip at an intersection near Phuket Town last night and rammed a small car coming towards it.

The truck was headed south on Chao Fa East Road and had reached the intersection at the Dowroong Wittaya School (map here).

In the dramatic police CCTV footage (click here), the juggernaut can be seen entering the intersection, striking a small car in its path and pushing it about 50 meters before coming to a stop.

Two motorcyclists can be seen swerving to avoid the collision.

A Vachira Phuket Hospital emergency worker confirmed to the Phuket Gazette that Supawadee Singtothing, 21, had been injured in the accident and was transported to the hospital at 7:30pm.

“She had a broken right arm and wounds on her knees,” he said, “but now she is in stable condition.”
