Unidentified man severely injured in transformer explosion in Chon Buri
An unidentified man was seriously injured when he apparently climbed onto an electrical transformer which exploded and threw him to the ground early on Thursday.
Jakkrit Lertyaso, a security officer at a nearby company, told police that he noticed a sparkling light coming from the transformer and when he checked it out he saw a man sitting on it with his legs hanging down. The transformer immediately exploded, causing the man to fall, he said.
Rescuers of the Sawang Boribun Thammasathan Pattaya Foundation rushed to the scene on South Pattaya Road in Tambon Nong Plue in Chon Buri’s Bang Lamung District at 2.30am and took the man to hospital.
The man did not carry any identification card.
