Well, in the 10 years I've been here in Chiang Mai, I think that's only the 2nd or 3rd accident I know of involving a Songtaew, and surprised there are not a lot more.

 

He must have "overshot" at some speed,and what does that actually mean?

I know nearly all drivers cut the corner,never heard of one overshooting one.

I suspect brake failure

Good Call

"...The songtaew driver, 45 year old Pradub Tahee, was returning from a repair shop..."

 

Just went to get his brakes fixed! 

So will they both be tracking down to the Police station to start the compensation process

Joining a road without due care & attention?

Songtaew hit a cop car outside police station .......OOPS !

 

Fools, probably both drivers.

Being hit by a vehicle that was on the wrong side of the road?

It means crossing the centre lines into the oncoming lane of traffic.
