One killed, four injured in three-vehicle crash in Bangkok

By The Nation

 

 

Police said the accident happened at 9pm on the outbound Kubon road in front of the MaxValue department store and in front of the Phattaharin housing estate in Bangkok's Klong Sam Wa district.

 

Piraporn Sajjaphanpong, 28, died soon after she was removed from the wreckage of her Toyota Yaris. She had a big gash on her forehead.

Police said a driver and two passengers in a Toyota Vios car were injured and were taken to a nearby hospital.

 

The truck driver, Thassanee Kaewphukhiew, 35, was also injured and taken to Nawamin 9 Hospital.

 

Witnesses told police that they saw the pickup suddenly swerve to the right, mount the island and flip into the air before falling on to the two incoming cars.

 

Police have yet to interrogate the pickup driver to determine why he lost control of his vehicle.

It's possible he swerved to avoid the ambulance ghost.

why is it that almost every crash photo in Thailand looks like the vehicle was going 200 kph?

 

this is a rhetorical question.

Another traditional accident.

Some drivers are already getting into the spirit of Songkran driving style...

Just got my vehicle back from the shop. Fully Songkran-ized complete with water cannons.

Note to self add airborne pickups to the long long list of observations needed to stay alive.

My bet -
he was never "in control" of the vehicle.

Ex curbside motors in UK in my younger days.

You know the idea.

Can I have a run around the block?

Sure mate, go for it but I can't promise the car will still be here when you get back. ???

Got a taxi to the airport at 4am last week. Driver was driving way too fast even after I told him to slow down. Could be anyone of us that does not come back due to shear ignorance and carelessness.

At one point in NI some had so much armour plate added they couldn't get over a 4 inch kerb. Was in one when it got the front wheels up but burst one of the cv joints on the back axle trying to climb the 4 inches.

Long interesting walk back for the section.

Exactly what I thought on seeing the picture. Then I looked at the weight of a 4 door pick-up and found its maybe 2.5 tonnes. At 120kph thats some impact.

Expand  

Surprising that the average weight of a pickup is as you say around 4700 pounds or 2.3 tonnes. Never thought they were that heavy.

[Redline]

Texting or Songkran warm up?

" Police have yet to interrogate the pickup driver to determine why he lost control of his vehicle."

 

Interesting... So when it’s a pickup it’s the driver that looses control, but when a BMW than it’s the car loosing control 555. 

I just love it here:)
