On 26 Sept, a truck driver was struck by a piece of metal while driving in Chonburi Province, Thailand, causing him to lose consciousness and crash into a ditch.

Dashcam footage from the truck shows the driver, 42-year-old Atthapong Thapthimthong, driving normally when an object hit the driver’s side window and then struck him in the chest.

He immediately loses consciousness, remaining seated for a short time before slumping to his side as the truck hits a road barrier.

The truck then veers across the road and eventually falls into a ditch, causing Mr Thapthimthong to crash into the dashboard.

Chonburi City Police and rescuers rushed to the scene after receiving reports of a truck falling off the road.

They found a white 6-wheel truck with a closed container overturned in a drainage ditch on its left side, with the front windshield broken.

Mr Thapthimthong was found in the driver’s seat with a fractured and dented skull, as well as a bruise on his chest.

An Amarin TV reporter noted traces of the truck’s wheels scraping along the 4-lane road before veering off into the ditch.

Pieces of the windshield, the truck’s front camera, and the driver’s license plate were also scattered on the road.
