Dramatic moment driver crashes through motorway safety barrier when bid to overtake 2 lane-hogging motorists backfires


FOOTAGE shows a driver crashing through a motorway barrier after his bid to overtake two lane-hogging motorists badly backfired.

A Facebook clip captures the Honda Jazz hurtling down the motorway flyover at 11.30am yesterday.

They tried to slip between an Isuzu pick-up truck and a Mitsubishi van driving side-by-side in neighbouring lanes.

But the space between the two motors was so narrow that the Honda ended up rear-ending both of them.

The smash knocked the Honda off its wheels – with the shunted van swerving into the other two cars.

An instant later, the Mitsubishi slammed into the upended Honda – sending it over the flyover wall.

The Honda plummeted seven metres to the ground and was written off.

Snaps show the wrecked car with shattered windows, a crumpled bonnet, shredded tyres and a mangled boot.

Its 21-year-old driver was injured in the smash in the Thai city of Nonthaburi, the Bangkok Post reports.

Thailand has long ranked one of the top ten countries with the highest number of road deaths per capita.

Nearly 18,000 people die in road accidents in the South East Asian country on average each year.


That figure is ten times more than the UK, which has a similar population to Thailand.

Speeding is rarely punished on Thai roads, cars weave in and out of traffic, vans are often overloaded, and bikers go without helmets.

The country is on its fifth National Road Safety Plan but has little to show for it, according to the BBC.

Earlier this month 20 children and three teachers were killed when illegally fitted gas canisters exploded on their bus.
