Among the fatalities are Wuthipong Wongsaeng, Amnaj Petchnuan, Duangchan Panyasen, and Muangjai Maneerat. All were Chiang Rai natives. The initial investigation found that the victims were all supporters of the anti-government red-shirt movement and had travelled to Bangkok to join the rally on March 26th. Police believe the accident was caused by the driver's fatigue.

sceadugenga Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Unfortunate tragedy. With Thailand's road toll, which is rapidly approach peak season, I'd imagine the colour of people's shirts will make little difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
