Crazy taxi: 100 households go dark in Lat Phrao

A taxi driver earned a high score and a lot of anger this morning by knocking down five electricity posts in the Lat Phrao district, causing more than 100 households to lose power for the entire day.

No injuries were reported, but the taxi driver disappeared from the scene after ploughing through the five poles at 6am this morning on Soi Nawamin 111, according to Lat Prao authorities.

The damaged posts have been cleared from the road to allow traffic to pass, and power lines are being reinstalled.

Police are still tracking down the taxi driver who will be charged with reckless driving and destruction of public property, Khaosod reported.
