Approximately 100 vehicles suffered tire damage after encountering a large quantity of nails and screws scattered across a long section of expressway 7 in Chachoengsao province on 12/6. The incident occurred when a pickup truck, traveling towards Rayong province, inadvertently dropped its cargo. An unsecured tarp caused the tailgate to open, spilling numerous screws onto the road.
Vehicles traveling on expressway 7 could not avoid the debris, leading to a standstill along a 4-5 km stretch of the road. Several affected drivers contacted authorities and reported the incident to the police.
