Thai mayor's foot run over by excavator during photograph opportunity
A Thai mayor's leg has been run over by a massive earth excavator while proudly posing for a promotional photograph at a construction site.
The foot-crushing mishap happened while local officials were inspecting construction work on the Chiang Rak canal, in northern Thailand.
Prasert Kaithong, mayor of Khlong Luang municipality, stands smiling next to local politicians in front of a crowd and local media.
However, it appears nobody told the excavator driver to stop work and he reverses in the direction of the officials – who all have their backs turned to the rumbling yellow machine.
Mr Kaithong then falls as the excavator turns back and runs over his leg.
The mayor suffered damage to his right calf and a toe, according to Thairath.
