webfact Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 18 students injured as school van crashes into ditch in Hat Yai By The Nation 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... ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

300sd Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Ray Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peperobi Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
