Nine people were injured in Phitsanulok on Saturday night when a truck trailer overturned and crashed into three other vehicles waiting at a red light.

 

One of the victims was trapped inside her car until rescue workers secured the equipment needed to extract her. 

A witness said he heard the truck’s brakes several times before the trailer capsized.

 

 

Police suspect the driver was speeding and lost control when he braked too hard. He was to be interrogated before police could take further action.

NO no no no no this wasnt speeding, always the same crap, he wasnt  paying attention to the road, simple as  that, theyre  using speeding now as the be all and  end  all to everything so they can justify speed  cameras over the entire road network.

NOTE traffic  lights and he didnt see them....on phone, asleep, whatever

I live in this neck of the woods and luckily we also have drivers who are able to multi-task...

Is there a little bit of hate for more cameras I can read between the lines?

Yup.

 

If you're not speeding (or committing some other 'offence') then there is no need to worry about speed cameras, is there?

You're more than likely right about the 'lack of attention' for any number of reasons. ?

 

Hope the injured recover fully and quickly.

Did the truck driver nod off? Of course not, his brakes failed, Oh Sorry, wrong Truck Accident.

The  hate is for the way Thais think speed cameras are  gonna  solve their <deleted> driving skills, dont  matter if they are doing 50kmh or 90kmh if they aint  looking at the road
