webfact Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 North east: Two dead as pick-up split in two after collision with truck trailer - rain blamed Picture: 77kaoded Thai media 77kaoded indicated that rain was a contributing factor after a collision between a pick-up and a truck trailer left a couple dead in Thailand's north east yesterday. Nong Bua Lamphu Muang district police were called after the Hino truck on its way to Udon was hit head on by a four door Ford pick-up that slid on road surface water into the path of the truck. The pick-up was left split in two beside a market area on Route 210 between Nong Bua Lamphu and Udon Thani. Picture: 77kaoded The couple in the pick-up were cut out and rushed to hospital but died from their injuries. They were named as driver Phitak, 37, and passenger Rung-arun, 38, both from Udon. Chakrit, 23, the driver of the truck said that he was passing the market in his empty vehicle. He was unable to brake in time after the pick-up travelling in the opposite direction skidded on surface water and careened into his path.

Popular Post 2long Posted July 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2020 'Rain blamed' ???? What about the millions of others on the roads yesterday during the rain? I think we should blame whoever was driving too fast for the conditions, and not mother nature! 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post colinneil Posted July 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2020 That naughty rain, why did it do that? No not the rain to blame, but inexperienced drivers, not driving correctly for the road conditions. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Last drove there on Sunday. Slightly down/uphill. Likely pickup going down. Traffic into/out from the market area. Needs attention! But whom do I tell. Edited July 2, 2020 by KhunBENQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) This is ridiculous.... the rain causes so many problems in Thailand, with failing electrics, street floods, flooded klongs carrying the litter, plastics and pollution into the sea and of course causing cars, lorries and busses to skid and crash..... It's about time the Government banned rain..... Edited July 7, 2020 by richard_smith237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
