Pattaya –

A foreign couple got their pickup truck stuck when a portion of road near an under construction water drainage area gave way yesterday.

Rescue workers were notified of the incident yesterday (April 11th) in North Pattaya.

The Pattaya News arrived at the scene to find a white pickup truck stuck with both front wheels lodged in the road near a water drainage construction site.

The road surface had been filled iin with some soil to make an entrance into a restaurant.

The foreign couple told The Pattaya News they were heading to the restaurant during a rain storm yesterday. Their names were not released to the press.

After the couple finished their meal, they were exiting from the restaurant in their pickup truck, when the road surface gave way. They came down from their pickup truck and called for help from emergency services.

Law Enforcement officials said they will look into the cause of the collapse of the road and speak with the construction contractor, but it is unclear if any legal charges will be placed against the contractor or if damages will be paid to the foreign couple.
