Pattaya —
A fire suddenly erupted on a running pickup truck on North Pattaya Road. The Thai driver survived the blaze without injuries, not knowing how the fire started.
The driver, 53-years-old, Mr. Sawang Bumrung, was found by Sawang Boriboon rescuers at 6 PM on July 27th near his car that was engulfed in flames. The rescuers and fire department rushed to his aide at the scene of the incident near the entrance of the North Pattaya Tesco Lotus in Banglamung district, Chonburi, after being notified of the incident on Thursday, July 27th.
The firefighters spent only 10 minutes to snuff out the blaze. The car, a bronze Nissan pickup truck, suffered significant damage.
The Pattaya News interviewed Mr. Sawang about the cause of the incident and he said that while he was driving to work, he noticed white smoke suddenly gushing out from under his car’s hood. The flames shortly ensued. The car owner tried to maintain his composure and was able to safely park the car by the side of the road before making a dramatic escape from the burning vehicle. However, Sawang stated that he had no idea about what caused the accident.
The authorities are attempting to pinpoint the cause of the blaze as of press time.
