A lucky motorcyclist had a miraculous escape after a building collapsed onto him during a deadly tropical storm.<br /><br />Sornchai Luenkathok, 16, had set off from his home when the heavy storm battered in Nakhon Ratchasima, northeastern Thailand.<br /><br />He stopped under the public pavilion to shelter from the rain when the poles gave way. The roof and metal beams then collapsed on top of him.<br /><br />Kwanchai Choengjorhor, who was also sheltering under the building but managed to quickly escape the collapse, called the rescue foundation after seeing the unconscious boy covered in blood.<br /><br />Footage shows the officers from Sawang Metta Foundation lifting the roof up with the pile of bricks before slowly carrying the injured out of the debris.<br /><br />The team spent 20 minutes to eventually rescue the young biker and send him to the hospital. His legs were broken while his head and shoulders were also wounded.<br /><br />Manop Sangchan, the village chief of Hua Thaly Subdistrict, said that the incident was reported to the provincial government.<br /><br />He said: ''The civil officers will check the damage and will plan to reconstruct the building. They will also support the injured during the treatment in the hospital.''<br /><br />Sornchai has been recovering in hospital since the accident.<br /><br />Thailand has been experiencing tropical storms for the last two weeks. Weather experts have said El Nino warm phase is partly to blame, having caused soaring temperatures and humidity.
