webfact Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Five hurt in crash of van carrying donated organs By The Nation Five people were injured when a van from Praram 9 Hospital carrying donated human organs crashed into the concrete base of a communication switching cabinet in Ayutthaya early on Wednesday. Police said the accident happened at 4am in Tambon Sanab Tueb in Wang Noi district. The van driver, Somboon Vattanakit, told police that a car cut in front of his van at a very close distance, so he swerved to the left and crashed into the concrete base on the roadside. Somboon and four staff members of a medical team were injured. They were identified as Thawatchai Klinsukhon, Haruethai Sathanbua, Pussadee Wannarat and Sudarat Paengkaew. The five were rushed to Wang Noi Hospital. The team was taking donated organs from Chaiyaphum to Praram 9 Hospital when the accident occurred.

This is one of those times when a dash cam would be really handy. Or maybe not so handy, depending on whether it tells the same story as the driver.

Credo Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Even after death a person is not safe for the traffic in Thailand. I wonder if the organs made to their intended recipient(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get Real Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The question is how many will die out of broken or dead organs? Hurt toll: 5 Death toll: ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The five people didn't know that they carried the donated organs inside themselves. They stay fresher that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Triangle Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I never thought about it before but I suppose that this time of year and Songkran are the most beneficial if you happen to be on the organ donor register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbastheycome Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Besides the injuries it is actually a sadder event if the donated organs were rendered unusable. Organ donation in Thailand is culturally/ religiously avoided by many if not most despite a huge demand for such a simple and yet non blood type specific item such as cornea transplant. Even if a donor is registered and death is deemed by trauma in an accident and no autopsy is carried out, family take possession , perform rites and cremate without consideration of donor status as very often happens.
