Hope the police can find cctv footage so they can determine who crashed into who.

One blessing is that, for once there were no innocent tourists killed or injured.

[Srikcir]

I bet cement slab claimed brake failure.

'Van driver Arun Sintoon, 25, and his passenger Chaichana Rompothong, 26, were stuck in the van and could not leave the vehicle without assistance.'

If the van driver was dead he would need assistance, wouldn't he?! And if the picture shows the impact point then that doesn't fit 'slab by the roadside' either.

My condolences to the family of the driver

How many more innocent people need to die, before the authorities understand that there is a real problem on the hazardous Thai roads, that cannot be tackled solely with demagogic statements ? ? ?

I think they well understand.

 

I just think they simply don't care.

777 road safety plan, where are you????? 

[bleble]

At least if only the driver died, there is finally a justice !

Hope that the innocent passengers will recover quickly.

Seatbelts save lives.

Tourists are the only people to be concerned about?  Really?

He died in hospital so he did need assistance at the scene, didn't he?!

What story about seatbelts do the pictures tell?

Police don’t exist

I have no interest in pointing out the obvious to a poster whose main posting style seems to be asking inane questions about other people's contributions on a subject.

You remind me of someone.

I imagine that your real answer is that the photos do not tell any story at all.

 

My "posting style" is simply commenting on comments or OPs which is the only reason for a forum to exist, you know, exchange of views and all that.

[steelepulse]

Perhaps if you would have gone to the actual article, you would have seen this photo clearly showing the drivers side windscreen having a serious impact.

The van does not look that old but had no airbags apparently. Poor driver forgot to keep his eyes and van on the road.
