Police said the accident happened on the Chumphae Si Chomphu road in Moo 6 village in Tambon Wang Hin Lad. Four men died at the scene and another died after being taken to Chumphae Hospital. The truck driver, Sayan Suwanchairob 41, said he was delivering water to a sugar factory in Chaiyaphum when he saw a van heading towards him in the wrong lane as it attempted to overtake a vehicle. The van then smashed head-on into his truck. Narongrit Wongmao, 37, who was severely injured, told police that the group of Thai Port fans had rented the van to travel to a match in Nong Bua Lamphu. The two other injured occupants were identified as Samarn Saengsud, 43, and Manas Chaonajae, 46.

farmerjo Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I saw one yesterday just past sichompu heading to nongbua. Black car straight into the back of a tuktuk and threw the driver about 8 metres. Thankfully won't need to take that road for another 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see complete bubbleheads, racers, creepers. A dangerous mix. Going there at least three times a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 From video/pictures of other sources it looks like both drivers swerved to avoid the collision. But unfortunately both to the same lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The van driver hool has obviously overtaken in the forbidden zone before the T-junction. It's all clearly marked with signs (junction ahead, overtaking forbidden plus the yellow lines).
