Concrete Pipe Falls Of Truck In Bangkok

Drivers had a death-defying near miss after a huge concrete pipe came loose from a truck and crashed onto the road.

The eighteen-wheeler had 24 of the items stacked on its flat bed to be delivered to a building site when it round a bend in Bangkok.

Dashcam footage from another motorist shows how one of the heavy concrete pipes toppled o and fell in front of his car – narrowly avoiding a potentially deadly crush.

Onlooker Thanarat Fueangruethaikul, 27, said he raced after the driver to make him aware of what had happened because ‘’he didn’t seem to notice’’ .

Thanarat said:

“I drove alongside the truck, rolled the window down, and talked to the driver to ask if he knew that the huge pipe had dropped o. He looked very confused and said that he didn’t notice it.

“I didn’t think he drove back there to pick it up after I told him it had been smashed. I think officials might already have moved it o the road.

“Luckily, there were no motorcycles trying cutting in front of my car while the pipe was falling otherwise it would’ve been a worse accident.

‘’The driver will have to explain to his superiors why one of the pipes is missing. ’’

The accident causes a brief traffic jam during the morning rush hour on the Kalapapruek Road in the Thai capital before police moved the debris from the accident.
