Something else to add to Thailand's total disregard for safety.

 

Very sad. RIP. The pickup driver should never be allowed to drive again.

Just seen on channel 33 news where they are showing the scratches on the roof of the Vigo where the pipe was

PS: looks like it was moving around as the width of marks must be a ft wide

One thing I always worry about, living here. Improperly tied loads. My wife and I both are always getting out of the way of trucks with metal bars, etc. tied on them. That along with being electrocuted...

When riding my bike I also have dread being hit by an overhanging object. Phew, will look behind more often from now on......

I stopped riding scooters a couple of years ago. Too many are trying to kill you 24/7/365, I'd like to survive to see another day.

But the biker didn't see or consider stopping or veering off sooner?

Such thing is not so easy to see in time... Even the black dog was impressed by what happened!

yeah, but the dog running out gives one an idea of the actual speeds the vehicles were going.  It really was not a high speed accident.  Granted the light blue pipe and a gray truck do not together provide a high contrast background with which to see things.  Accident investigators would use the words "an unfortunate confluence of events, with several contributing factors".

The thing is, she's got to go back to the store to get another length of pipe.
