Pol Col Anek Pongsawat, Bang Pahan station chief, said the 3-inch nails littered the road at three spots -- the intersection at Wat Worachet, the Thung Makham Yong intersection in Muang Ayutthaya district, and a U-turn flyover in Bang Pahan district. The police were examining footage of security cameras to learn where the nails came from. It was suspected they had fallen from the back of a truck carrying construction material.
