Nongprue police are searching for the driver of this car after the driver downed two power poles and fled the scene.

Power, telephone and cable-television service were knocked out April 19 after the Bangkok-registered Toyota Altis crashed into the utility poles on Soi Nong Krabok opposite of Srisuk Villa.

The car sustained critical damage, but the driver was nowhere to be found when police arrived.

Witnesses said the car was speeding and driver apparently lost control, hitting one post. When it fell, it took down another. The car careened off the utility pole and hit a water pipe.

The driver, they said, staggered out of the car and fled on foot.
