The driver of a Honda sedan had a lucky escape when a large shipping container fell off a truck on an expressway and landed squarely on top of a car below on Nakhon In Road in Nonthaburi around noon on Wednesday.
The bone-chilling incident occurred on the road under the Kanchanapisek expressway between Wong Wian Bang Khun Kong and Kanchanapisek Road.
The container fell from a trailer truck at a curve on the expressway about 12.15pm, and landed flush on top of the Honda Civic car on the road beneath, Thai media reported.
The car driver survived with only minor injuries and was rushed to a nearby hospital. The sedan, which has Bangkok licence plates, is clearly a write-off.
No other details were known.
