A driver escaped unhurt and his two passengers were only slightly injured as a Lamborghini grazed a couple on a motorcycle before crashing into a palm tree.
The palm tree was broken apart after being struck by the speeding Lamborghini Murcielago sports car.
However, the sports car was turned to a wreck when the impact severed it nearly in half and forced its two left wheels to come off.
The incident happened at 03.00 am Monday on the Praditmonootham road.
Chokechai police said the driver of the sports car and two friends are all in their late 20s, while the slightly injured man and woman on the motorcycle grazed by the sports car are in their late teens.
According to police, the driver of the sports car was identified as Mr Satiravat Kampiranon.
He was unhurt while his two friends suffered bruises in their legs and arms.
The car was borrowed from his friend in the real estate business, police said.
Satiravat said after having a dinner at a restaurant on the same road with friends, he borrowed the car from a friend to drive junior friends home on Nawamin road.
As he drove on the steep portion on the Klong Kliang bridge, the car hopped and became airborne.
The car lost control, grazing a couple on a Honda motorcycle, before hitting the sidewalk and ramming into a palm tree on the pavement.
The car was then nearly broken in half and the two left wheels split off and rolled over 500 metres away.
Rescue workers however rushed the couple and two in the sports car to Phyathai Nawamin hospital for a check up.
Police said the driver was breath tested but was found to be alcohol-free. However, he was booked for reckless driving and causing injuries to others and damages to state property.
There is a view that our lives are mapped out and we all have a designated time for our lives to end. Incidents like this can only strengthen that belief. It simply wasn’t their time !
