BRAKE FAILURE

(Copied and pasted from most traffic accident articles).

Any blood samples taken to check alcohol levels? Or is it considered normal Thai driver incident?

Why would you assume that this person that hit a huge, unmissable, stationary object at 3.30 am would be drunk ?

Glare, from swamp gas, reflected off of Venus,etc...  Everything  but the Yeti that ran across the road distracting him

Distracted driving?  Brake failure?  Asleep at the wheel?  Drunk as a skunk?  I am sure there is a valid excuse for running into a 16 foot high bus with a dozen flashing lights.
