Most students sustained minor injuries and were allowed to return home following treatment, but some remained hospitalised as of press time. 

 

The van had collision insurance covering its passengers. 

 

Driver Yongyut Thongkorn said he was trying to overtake a car in front of him when he lost control of his vehicle.

Chiang Rai Governor Narongsak Osotthanakorn urged motorists to drive carefully as the rain had made roads very slippery.

" Driver Yongyut Thongkorn said he was trying to overtake a car in front of him when he lost control of his vehicle. "

 

when are mini van drivers not trying to over a vehicle in front of them?

 

Lifelong ban from driving passengers.

 

Driver must pay all medical fees.

 

Next case.

The weather is terrible up here today, rain and cold all day.

I had to go to town to meet friends and we saw several accidents one involving a lady on a motorbike that slipped in the wet.

If this keeps up I would suggest staying home if possible.

You get that weather regularly in the UK, and other western countries. Yet they don't have the road accident numbers. Wonder why?
