Probably ended with less loss of life than arriving at the beach.

And he even kept 10 cm distance from the truck, though could make it to stop on time

From the article police are investigating. Besides not keeping enough distance between the vehicle in front and the van, what else is there to investigate?  Did a ghost jump out?

Thais are idiots with their lack of driving skills. I hope the driver got seriously hurt then he might think twice next time. Did he not see the 18 wheel truck. Driving too close. Not giving way. Might even be too fast. Next

Brakes failed, of course.

It is the truck’s fault. Why did it brake so suddenly ?
