Eighteen students were slightly injured when their school van crashed into a roadside ditch about one kilometre from their school in Songkhla's Hat Yai district on Tuesday morning.

 

The accident occurred on the Hat Yai-bound Asia highway in Tambon Khor Hong.

 

The van driver, Yongyut Thongsalalluan, 35, told police that he was driving the students from Songkha's Chana dsitrict to Thaweerat School in Hat Yai and was about one kilometre from the school when the accident happened.

 

He said a car turned in front of his van, forcing him to swerve to the left. He then lost control of the van because the road was slippery after rain, and the vehicle crashed into a roadside ditch.

 

The students were taken to Rat Yindee Hospital. They were slightly injured from the impact.

Careful, that's borderline Thai bashing.   If there is inference that people not from a foreign country, in Thailand, are involved in questionable activities or judgement, you've entered the "slippery when wet" zone...  ?

Can those slippery roads take a defensive driving course? They are causing many accidents. 

 

Thank goodness the children are ok, they do not deserve this.

Always drive according to the conditions and expect the unexpected, especially if you have the care of children. Shame most of the drivers are cheap idiots always in a rush.

18 people in a Coffin on Wheels designed to carry no more than 12 including Baboon driver. What are the Officials who should be overseeing these offences doing??????? Not their job obviously

As usual, some other people were on their way and force them to do something wrong. 18 students???? they have not enough seat for all of them, or? For the public van, the government is forbidden to carry more than 13 peoples, students are not mattered they are to many in Thailand or?
