A truck wheel fell from a vehicle and struck a parked car, damaging the vehicle and a rope shop's sign and planters in Nonthaburi's Bang Yai district early on July 23.
A resident was jolted awake by a loud crash when a large truck wheel suddenly fell from nowhere, striking a parked car and causing extensive damage to potted plants and a shop sign. At 10:00 a.m. on July 23, 2025, authorities were notified of the incident at a three-unit shophouse on Kanchanaphisek Road in Bang Muang subdistrict, Bang Yai district, Nonthaburi province, a rope and canvas shop. The damage included a crushed car with a shattered rear window, broken lotus planters, and a destroyed shop sign. Security camera footage from 3:38 a.m. showed the large wheel rolling from the middle of the road, hitting the roadside before bouncing onto the car and then striking the planter.
Phongtharm (surname withheld), 29, the shop owner's younger brother, reported that around 3:00 a.m. he heard a loud crash while sleeping but didn't investigate. When he came down in the morning, he discovered the wheel on the lotus planter and the damaged car. After reviewing the security footage and seeing the wheel rolling from the street and causing the damage, he filed a report at Bang Yai Police Station. He is appealing to the truck owner to take responsibility for the damages and retrieve the wheel.
