Computer traps Thai minister in his car

Bangkok - Security guards have smashed their way into an official limousine with sledgehammers to rescue Thailand's finance minister after his car's computer failed. 

Suchart Jaovisidha and his driver were trapped inside the BMW for more than 10 minutes before guards broke a window. All doors and windows had locked automatically when the computer crashed, and the air-conditioning stopped, officials said on Monday.

"We could hardly breathe for over 10 minutes," Suchart told reporters. "It took my guard a long time to realise that we really wanted the window smashed so that we could crawl out. It was a harrowing experience." -- Reuters
