webfact Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Wife killed as husband’s runaway truck hits Bangkok estate’s entrance By The Nation Picture: Komchadluek A passenger wife was killed when her husband’s parked truck ran away while he was asking directions and crashed into the arched entrance of a Bangkok housing estate early on Tuesday. Pol Captain Phattarapop Chaichana, deputy inspector of Udom Suk police station, said the accident happened at 2am near the eastern ring road in Bangkok’s Prawet district. He said Phannipha Thanonyai, 23, was killed when the arched entrance of The Grand Bang Na housing estate collapsed onto the front of the truck. Her husband, Pitipat Akkhara, 22, told police that he was delivering bricks from Saraburi to The Grand Lux housing estate, which was 200 metres away from the scene. He said he came to the wrong housing estate because their names were similar, and so he parked his truck on the bridge and got out to ask for directions to The Grand Lux from a security officer. His truck ran away down the bridge slope and hit the housing estate entrance.

Delivering bricks - at 2am? Obviously dark bricks, not 'light' ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, blame the arched entrance. The truck and its driver are obviously not at fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many deliver night time when there is not so much traffic, and they also do that not to disturb people living in the area. Same with deliveries to 7-11. always night time.

Same with deliveries to 7-11. always night time. I can understand the 7 Eleven deliveries (although when I go there for bread, sometimes have to wait for it to be delivered at about 2-3pm) What I thought strange was someone delivering bricks to an existing housing estate. Surely off-loading bricks wouldn't necessarily be quiet - whether dumping them in a pile or using a Hiab hoist. I'd assume there would have been complaints about the noise in the middle of the night, that was my point.

To me that not strange, if deliver night time their parked truck will not block one lane of the the traffic, also the roads inside is many time so narrow that they are like a one way street. Unloading bricks do not have to be noisy at all, they might even be packed in boxes depending of type of bricks it is. Maybe 24 boxes of bricks to build a bar. I feel sorry for the wife who probably was sleeping in the truck. And I fel sorry for the delivery guy, he has to live with this. Even tho it was an accident. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
