Students clamber up destroyed stairway to get to school in Phuket

Students this morning had to climb an almost collapsed stairway to get to school. A truck (photo) careered off Thepkasattri Road in Koh Kaew, Phuket on Saturday night, running into the stairway and destroying half of the concrete stairway to the school’s overpass.

Undaunted, students tried to climb up the wrecked stairway this morning on their regular trip to school. But officials eventually arrived to close the hazardous stairs – lucky no one was injured in the collision or trying to climb onto the overpass this morning.

The incident happened at the overpass on Thepkasattri Road outside the Muslim Wittaya School. Students will be escorted across the busy road on their way home tonight.
