A driver of a modified pickup truck too tall for a flyover bridge got stuck in Sattahip.
Kritsana Phueim said he forgot his Isuzu pickup with a refrigerated unit installed in the bed was too tall to drive under the 2.5-meter-high flyover bridge on Sukhumvit Road at the second kilometer mark in Sattahip.
As he approached and tried to make a U-turn under the bridge, Kritsana said the height problem dawned on him too late to stop. His truck was wedged in, blocking traffic.
Volunteers and police responding to the May 1 accident said the newly built bridge has snagged many drivers of overly tall trucks.
