I would have hoped that at least the "CityNews" don't follow this idiotic expression ...

The headline should read "Idiot Driver Loses Control of Van Kills Two Students and Blames the Weather!"

...van driver lost control...

Take away those irresponsible peoples!

These drivers lose control the moment they sit behind the wheel. Weather has nothing to do with it. It's a behavior thing.

Moronic driving culture in addition to piss poor reporting. Does the journalist even recognize absence of his/her cognitive or should I say non existing skills

It is only rain, driver probably not learnt how to switch on the wipers. 

RIP to the students.

To give the journalist credit the descriptor was 'crash' and not that weasel word 'accident'

Years ago the UK police stopped using “accident” and replaced it with “collision”, as very rarely did anything happen accidentally. Top causes, speed too great for conditions, impatience, inattention, changing lanes without mirror/indicator, jumping lights can all be seen in first five minutes of driving on a Thai road.

So if the school van lost control  I assume this was one of the new driver-less vans . As it is usually the driver that loses control not a free thinking van

Agree, A bit like saying a man goes into hospital and his gf dies after his gun suddenly goes off.

No!  The headline should read, "Here we go again!".

The school van, which belongs to Mae Ngan Luang School, was reportedly overbalanced 

Is that the same as overloaded and with no seatbelts?

Was thinking the same , wonder how many students actually were in the van ?

Jeez, I wonder what caused the school van diving in bad weather to lose control & crash?

we need a public exececution of a driver like this ..to send a message ''stop killing our children''...

Always, road condition or bad weather is the culprit in Thai road accidents and funny thing is cops agree with it........ There is no hope for these people
