Speeding truck slams into post, falls into pieces

A Toyota truck appeared to almost completely disintegrate after ramming a utility post in Pathum Thani province, killing the driver.

The truck hit the electricity post on Tiwanon Road on Saturday night at high speed, killing driver Praiwan Jantah, a 30-year-old man from Mae Hong Son province.

Among the scattered debris, officials found the vehicle’s speed meter, which suggested Praiwan was speeding at 150 kph.

The authorities assumed Praiwan lost control while speeding through a curve and then crashed into the post, MThai and Thairath reported.
