Strange Accident: Motorcycle “Flies” onto Utility Pole
The accident occurred on the night of March 10th in Kab Choeng district, Surin province, Thailand. Initially, the Honda motorcycle was placed in the bed of an Isuzu pickup truck. According to information from the Bangkok Post, reposted from the Honda CB650F Thailand fan page, the pickup truck driver swerved to avoid a motorcycle traveling in the wrong direction. This action caused the pickup truck to lose control, overturn, and come to a stop in a completely damaged state.

Serious Consequences and Cause of the Incident
The strong impact caused the front of the pickup truck to be shattered, with the cabin and bed severely dented. Incredibly, the motorcycle in the back “flew” up and became stuck on the power line. Five people in the pickup truck were injured to varying degrees.
The exact cause of the truck stuck on a utility pole, or rather the motorcycle being thrown onto the pole, is still under investigation. However, it is likely that the strong force from the overturning vehicle caused the motorcycle to be thrown high into the air. This serves as a cautionary tale about securing cargo carefully when transporting it in a pickup truck.
