A 26-year-old man escaped death when his car fell 15 metres off an expressway in Bangkok early on Saturday.
Expressway police and rescue workers were alerted at 3:30am to a Honda Civic that had plunged from the Si Rat Expressway onto Rama VI Road.
At the scene, authorities found the vehicle with all its tyres burst, a large collision mark on its front, a collapsed roof and shattered windows.
Inside, they found the driver, identified only as Wachiraya, and rushed him to hospital.
Mr Wachiraya told police that he had entered the expressway from Ngam Wong Wan Road but lost control of his car near the exit to Rama VI Road. As a result, his vehicle crashed through a concrete barrier and plunged 15 metres to the road below.
Police were reviewing surveillance video to determine the cause of the incident, and a blood alcohol test will be conducted on the driver.
