webfact Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Thailand road carnage: Overtaking trucker arrested as 13 students injured on way home from school Picture: 77kaoded Thirteen students and a female driver were injured after their pick-up collided with a wall following a collision with a truck that was overtaking. The accident happened on Route 21 the Lopburi to Petchabun Road near the Saha Farm in Chai Badan district. The students were on their way home to the villages of Ban Wang Sai and Ban Klong Kratang. Rescuers and Chai Badan police were greeted with children covered in blood and screaming for help. Driver Mallika, 28, was also injured. Picture: 77kaoded The four most seriously injured students were taken to Chai Badan hospital first followed by the others. Some 50 meters away a Hino truck had come to a stop. The driver, Karan, aged 39, said he was following the pick-up and tried to overtake. But a vehicle came in the opposite direction forcing him to abandon his maneuver and resulting in him clipping the pick-up. Chai Badan police arrested him and took him away.

Matzzon Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Horrible! The word morons seems to be all to meaningless nowadays. Again an avoidable accident if people just care to think little bit. Just another thought, might be that they stop driving children and students in unsafe cars. Like rebuilt pick ups, for example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gunderhill Posted February 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2020 Had a nice Hino driver about 18 inches from my ass last night in heavy traffic, trying everything he could to pass despite the road being full of other vehicles and with nowhere to go. I turned right eventually before tugging the handbrake as I did it, get sick of these <deleted>. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is typical Thai logic; I don't see anyone in front so there's no one ...

Nothing really, no see - no traffic. Seriouslu though, very many Thai drivers simply can't think ahead, which makes the the roads very dangerous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazybones Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Highway 21 is a duel carriage way with very few bends. He said that another vehicle came toward him forcing him to cancel his overtaking but clipping the pick up in the process. For him to meet someone head on they would have to be going the wrong way down the left hand carriage way. Go figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep him behind you until you come to a hill, slow him down with a couple if typical thai maneuverers until he is almost stopped, then waive goodbye as he creeps uphill.
