According to local police, a motorist died on Monday after colliding with a drainage structure inside Bangkok’s Thon Buri district’s Mahai Sawan overpass on Sunday.
Pol Col Chatthakit Padungjandanai, director of Bukkhalo policeman, said Wanlop Homjampa, 29, a native of Ubon Ratchathani, was driving his bicycle at higher rate when it skidded inside the overpass. Before entering a drain hole, the man was careening for a few meters.
The discharge was left empty after the door was stolen, and it had not been replaced. The seriously injured scooter driver was taken to Taksin Hospital, where he succumbed to his wounds and passed away.  ,  ,
The Thon Buri district office has officially reported the drainage lid’s theft to the authorities.  ,  ,
A man died in Lat Phrao district after falling into a poorly-covered 15-meter-deep tube also on a road divider less than a week prior, causing a public outcry over City Hall’s and other relevant organizations ‘ failure to take adequate safety measures.
However, Samart Ratchapolsitte, a past Bangkok assistant governor, took to his Twitter account to introduce four suggestions to avoid similar incidents.
He suggested conducting a thorough study of every tubes well lid citywide and repairing them as soon as possible before the rain season. The containers may be replaced right away if necessary, and there must be a sign that warns people who are missing from the street.  ,
Authorities must make sure that the contractor keeps pedestrians away from the construction site or installs a momentary lid while constructing or fixing a tube also. Additionally, the location may be obviously lit.
Companies who do n’t take enough safety measures may be harshly punished, he added.
In related information, a crater reportedly appeared on Sunday along Nonthaburi’s Chaiyaphruek Road.
The three- inch- strong hole was found near the U- change under Rama IV Bridge in Nonthaburi’s Pak Kret area.
At 1:30 a.m. on Monday, staff from , the Metropolitan Electricity Authority, and the Rural Road Department completed the temporary repair of the sinkhole’s area. Continuous maintenance will pursue.
