BURI RAM: On Wednesday night, a vehicle collided with a roadside energy pole, causing the driver to fall out of the car and fall through the roof of a local store. &nbsp,

The incident occurred about 7.57pm on roadway 226 in Muang area. Emergency responders found the 43-year-old vehicle, identified only as Ratchakorn, lying unconscious on the ground under the marble buy awning with a very poor signal. &nbsp,

She was taken to Buri Ram clinic, where she was later declared dead, according to Buri Ram Sawang Janyatham Rescue, but she refused to respond to first support.

The driver reportedly fell through the sheet metal awning ceiling and was thrown from the car after it hit a electricity shaft. The roof had a significant gap torn off. &nbsp,

The struck strength mast was broken into three parts and the vehicle was discovered upside down.
