Bangkok - Arab Today
Six people were injured on Friday evening after a car crashed into the fence of the Erawan Shrine, the popular tourist attraction in central Bangkok, local media reported.
The accident took place at around 8:20 p.m. local time when a light blue Toyota sedan lost control and veered off the Ratchaprasong intersection. The car hit the fence and slammed into the Erawan Shrine, a Hindu shrine hit by a fatal bombing last August.
From the video went viral online just an hour after the crash, worshippers run in all directions in panic when the car suddenly ploughed into the shrine. Six people, including the driver, were hurt and hospitalized, most of whom are foreigners who came to worship the shrine, according to Mathichon.
Police said initial investigation shows that it was an accident caused by the 54-year Thai woman driver who had a seizure and lost her control of the car. She was accompanied by her daughter.
It's unveiled that the other five injured are Indonesians and Singaporeans.
The crash in Erawan Shrine comes less than one year after the shrine was targeted in a blast shocking the country which killed over 20 people, most of whom were Chinese tourists.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
