Small concrete piece falls from Rama II expressway bridge, shattering car’s rear windscreen. Driver unharmed; concerns raised over repeated construction incidents.

A small piece of concrete fell from an expressway bridge over Rama II highway onto a car’s rear windscreen, shattering it, but the female driver escaped unharmed.

The incident was recounted by the driver herself on her Facebook page, under the account name Sud Khanueng.

She posted at 7:22 pm on Monday that while exiting the expressway onto Rama II highway, a piece of concrete fell onto the rear windscreen, breaking it.

The driver said she later learned that workers from a bridge construction project above the highway had been drilling holes into the bridge, causing the piece to fall.

The post attracted many comments, with several expressing concern over repeated accidents related to construction on Rama II highway.

On 29 April, a male driver was fatally injured when a large piece of concrete fell from an old overpass above Rama II highway onto his car’s windshield.
