A motorist was crushed to death when his car plunged from the Bang Na-Chon Buri elevated expressway onto the highway below early on Wednesday.

The accident occurred shortly after midnight.

The car, a Nissan Almera, crashed through the side barrier as it approached an exit to the tollgate, and plummeted 30 metres down to the Bang Na-Trat highway.

It landed upside down. The driver, Posawat Chanlekha, 30, was crushed in his seat.


Ruam Katanyu Foundation rescuers used hydraulic jacks to free his body from the car.

Police investigators were examining surveillance camera recordings to learn the cause of accident.
