hi everybody  today the rain in my place is quite heavy and strong winds when I came home from my workplace it was raining heavily. when on the way home there was an accident caused by the collapse of an electric pole due to very strong winds the electricity pole finally hit a car, it was fortunate that the passengers only suffered injuries and finally the traffic police came to deal with the traffic jam. this made the road jam, and I was lucky the accident happened right behind me, like the photo I showed above ... I don't think it will happen right in front of me indeed the rain that we experienced at this time was quite thick along with strong winds ... my funds finally rushed to go home because I was very scared at that time ... So the conclusion is that when heavy rain and strong winds we have to be careful when driving on the highway do not happen like my photo above

Is this a highway? It looks like a normal secondary road, very narrow.

@leny34 A road to be called "highway" here must have 4 lanes.

@LadyDuck yes when it comes to the city all roads have 4 lanes, but when the road on the mountain slope only has 2 lanes

this highway which is on the slopes of the mountain, is indeed a bit narrow but this is the only way to get to another city

that is quite unfortunate. It is very hard to see though, maybe that's the cause of the accident

the wounded are there ... it's just that there are no casualties ... this is all because it is caused by very heavy rain

That's a good advise because when its raining the road is slippery.

@leny34 We have many accidents here during heavy rains cause we are visited by many typhoons and heavy rains, since we have only two weather conditions summer and rainy seasons only...

yes right, heavy rain makes our visibility when on a highway limited and that is what causes many accidents on the highway
