Unsatisfied by the truck it ate earlier this month, a northern Bangkok road Saturday consumed the grading vehicles sent to repair it.
The canal-side road in Pathum Thani split open on Saturday, knocking down the street roller and grading vehicle repairing it nine days after it swallowed a truck.
No one was injured in the incident.
The road had undergone temporary repair and was in use again when subsidence blamed on drought caused another three meter split to happen.
Highway workers were summoned to the scene to remove the toppled machinery, while the road was closed to prevent accidents.
Thailand’s current drought crisis is believed to have caused a number of roads to collapse, including the roads in Saraburi province and a sinkhole earlier this month on Bangkok’s Phetkasem Road.
