Video: Carnage as tractor destroyed and sandwiched between two trucks

Picture: Daily News

 

Video footage from Chaiyaphum showed a tractor traveling in the middle of the road that was slammed into by a truck from the rear.

 

The tractor is then sandwiched between an oncoming truck.

 

A motorcycle - seemingly ridden by a foreigner - then crashes as debris flies.

 

Daily News reported that the accident happened on the Chaiyaphun to Bua Yai road on Thursday morning. It appeared that the tractor might be about to turn into the road leading to Ban Nong Ya Rangka.

 

Two people were injured and taken to hospital.

 

They were the tractor driver Phinai Lonleua, 31 and the rider of the Yamaha Fino named as twenty year old Tina Lustef (name transliterated from Thai).

 

Police are investigating.

 

Both trucks were reported to have stopped at the scene.

No concept at all.  No tractor running lights to drive on the road (let alone the middle of a narrow road), no "slow moving vehicle" safety signage...nothing.  The innocent girl on the motorcycle is lucky to be able walk away...  Sad to see (but always interesting fodder, can't help but to stare at car accidents)

To be honest the m/c rider did the usual thing the riders with no real training do. She turned the bike and grabbed a big handful of front brake.

100% sure you're coming off if you do that especially with the steep rake and quick turning that rake produces. Lucky she wasn't high sided and really only just fell over.

Yeah I  looked at that and thought just the same..............front brake madness and  looking at it she had plenty of room to change position and brake later, either way i treat all road users as total morons here.

I sometimes wonder about the eye tests taken before a licence is issued.  There have been numerous accidents reported recently of people not seeing flashing red lights and then driving into a boom at a train crossing, or a tractor not being seen and thoroughly squashed.  Then you've got the drivers who cannot see red lights and drive through them.

Seems to indicate some sort of eye problem.

We used to spend a bit extra on a valve system that could split brake pressure front/back and was adjustable, from memory 50/50 to 75/25 ish.

Biggest problem was riding your mates bike that didn't have it.

I'll agree with that because all the hand phones here aren't transparent.

Normal average day on the roads of Thailand

Why does she deserve your ridicule for that?  Perhaps it was around her shoulders on it's strap?

Many farm vehicles in Thailand do not have plates, unless of course you are referring to the plate on the motorcycle? Would it have made any difference if the tractor had a license plate?

Strangely Honda and other large bike manufacturing companies would disagree with you. Started with large capacity bikes in the early 2000's and it's now being developed for smaller engined machines.
