Yangon’s bulky traffic ‘tombstones’ claim another victim

A nasty accident on Pyay Road Thursday morning left a taxi impaled upside down on a traffic barrier.

The bulky concrete blocks are frequently involved in crashes like this one, which happened near the corner with Inya Road.

Two buses were involved, according to a passerby.

 “One bus (not pictured) was beyond the taxi and was up on a car jack with one wheel missing,” he said.

No word on casualties, but there was no visible blood on the road and no ambulances present.

Either way, this should serve as a warning to all drivers to please hpe bye maun. Slow down.
