It’s hard to believe anyone
could have survived this crash, but apparently Surapol Subcharoen did.
He was still inside when this photo was taken.

A Pattaya recycling center owner was injured when he apparently
fell asleep before crashing his car into a ditch in Sattahip.
Surapol Subcharoen, 38, was found pinned inside his smashed Toyota Camry
at the 170-kilometer marker in front of navy housing on Sukhumvit Road
around 3:30 a.m. Oct. 2.
Rescuers had to use “jaws of life” to cut Surapol out of the car. He was
taken to Queen Sirikit Naval Medical Center for treatment. He received
cuts and bruises, along with some internal injuries, but survived the
crash.
Surapol, who owns the Subcharoen Khaa Khong Gao used-materials trading
business, apparently fell asleep at the wheel before veering off the
road, crashing into two trees and landing in the ditch.
