A Pong Sub-district clerk was injured when his pickup
truck plunged into a ravine near the Pong Interchange Bridge.
Sawang Boriboon Foundation rescuers used the Jaws of
Life to free 33-year-old Bunyiem Phookhaengmok, who was unconscious and
stuck behind the wheel of his Ford XLT Aug. 19. He was transported to
Banglamung Hospital for treatment.
Taxi driver Phutha Khenphunkho reported the accident
to authorities after passing by the interchange bridge and spotting the
demolished truck lying in the ditch. Police speculated Bunyiem dozed off
while driving.
