31 workers injured as company bus overturns in Pathum Thani

By The Nation

 

An allegedly intoxicated bus driver was arrested after he lost control of his vehicle, causing it to overturn on a Pathum Thani road on Saturday morning, police said.

 

Police have yet to identify the driver, who they said appeared too drunk to give a statement after the accident at 6am on the Phaholyothin road in Tambon Klong Nueng in Pathum Thani’s Klong Luang district.

 

Workers said the bus of Piyasuwan 29 Company was transporting 50 workers from the Zeer Rangsit shopping mall to their Fabrinet factory in Klong Luang district when the accident occurred.

 

The workers said they felt the bus swaying left and right and tried to get the driver to stop, but he kept on driving until the bus hit the road island at a U-turn spot and overturned.

The driver was taken to the Klong Luang police station to face charges.

Posted 3 hours ago  , are we getting immune to this every day ?  No other comments.

6am and plastered, must have come straight from a nights boozing session!

No one bothered to check he was fit for duty then?

Jail him for 5 years to get the monkey off his back!

perhaps the police officer was too drunk to properly identify the driver?

No surprises here. Road fatality statistics have to be maintained.

If not No.1 in the world for road deaths then loss of face will occur.

The driver must have been really, really drunk as there was no mention of him blaming the accident on faulty brakes or a motorcycle cutting in front of him.  

 

That's the problem with getting too drunk---you can't think straight enough to place the blame elsewhere.

But not too drunk to drive!
