Dash cam footage from a pick-up truck posted on Facebook showed the moment a driver faced a life or death decision as a similar oncoming vehicle refused to pull over while overtaking.
With trees on the left and the white pick-up blocking his path a collision was inevitable.
The two Toyota Vigos collided with the dash cam vehicle rolling and recording everything.
But incredibly Suphanburi native Somchai Pathan, 32, the driver, and his father who was a passenger lived to tell the tale.
In fact Somchai was only slightly hurt while his father was not injured at all.
The driver of the oncoming vehicle – Somrit Makhampom from Nakorn Pathom – was also unhurt. His vehicle was badly damaged on the driver’s front side.
Nong Ya Sai police said that the accident happened on the U-Thong – Dan Chang Road in their jurisdiction on Tuesday at 1.30pm.
They warned the public about driving fast especially on two lane roads such as this.
The footage was posted by Somchai’s elder brother “Ali Khan” who said that the family have a furniture business. His younger brother and father had been to buy bull and buffalo horns at a market for use as decorations.
The items they bought were badly damaged but the important thing was that his relatives had escaped unhurt, he said.
Police are investigating and using the dash cam footage.
Netizens commented in their thousands mostly and not surprisingly blaming the oncoming vehicle for the accident.
