The driver, Ma-Een Famangkorn, 49, told Thalang police that he was driving the truck, belonging to Phuket 89 Service co, with a full load of soil heading to a construction site in the Cherngtalay area.
As he went round a bend he heard a load bang from the back of the truck, which started to swing from side to side. Because of the weight of the earth, he was unable to control the vehicle, which craashed onto its side, spilling its load across half the road.
Mr Ma-Een received a bang on the head but was otherwise none the worse for wear. No one else was involved and Phuket 89 was called to clear up the mess as fast as possible.
