webfact Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Utter carnage! Gravel truck driver loses control smashing up 38 vehicles Picture: Manager Online A gravel truck out of control caused severe damage in Saraburi yesterday ramming into dozens of parked cars, pick-ups and motorcycles in one of the worst pile-ups of the year. But only the driver of the ten wheel truck was injured as the other vehicles were empty of people. Picture: Manager Online The accident happened outside a large chicken processing plant on the Pra Lan to Ban Khrua road in Phraphuttabaht district of the central Thai province. Four pick-ups, 8 cars and 26 motorcycles were damaged with some completely destroyed. Picture: Manager Online In addition the fence of the processing plant and two power poles were badly damaged. A video showed the efforts of rescue workers to free driven Wanchai Meejetana, 34, a local to the area. He was later taken to hospital with severe injuries.

Get Real Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I guess you have too drive quite fast to make a mess like this one. How ever, all is easily explained. Brake failure! Out of control! Yeah, that´s a mild suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r136dg Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Same ol, same ol....... Nobody inspects these commercial rigs (should be done a couple times a day), and anyone can get behind the wheel. Actually I don't know what the requirements are here for a commercial license & if there's different classes of them. Other side of the planet it would require a class A for a rig like that. Anyone have knowledge of this? Miracle no one else was injured! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monspencer Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Once again, very poor use of the English language unless it was for sensationalism. Carnage means the killing of a large number of people. However it could so easily have been carnage. Just very lucky it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so, early 17th century: from French, from Italian carnaggio, from medieval Latin carnaticum, from Latin caro, carn- ‘flesh.’ Seven years of Latin study so I can post in TV.

I just Googled "truck wreck" and pressed the "images" button and out of the first 100 images that came up, none of them were from Thailand. Some of them were pretty spectacular, but none from Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
