webfact Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Two buffaloes hit, injured by car on Bangkok roadside By The Nation Two water buffaloes from an abandoned herd were hit and severely injured by a car on a road in Bangkok’s Prawet district late on Monday night. The Prawet police station was alerted of the accident at 10.25pm on the new Srinakharin Romklao road near Raja Kosa Temple. They found a male albino buffalo with a broken front right leg and another with both front legs broken. The driver, who asked not to be named, was slightly injured. He claimed three buffaloes had suddenly crossed the road in front of his car and he was unable to stop in time. Local residents told police that the owner of the buffalo herd had died years ago, leaving the animals to live in the area on their own.

seajae Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 animals wondering onto the road are the responsibility of the owners and those hitting them can sue them for damages, well at least in Australia. I hit a chicken over here once as it ran across the road and the owner was pretty upset with me but my wife told him it didnt cause any damage to our car so we would not seek compensation, shut him up on the spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could cut them up into small dogs.....or hot dogs....then a kind buddhist would surely take them in and look after them well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na the third buffalo was driving the car !! And you are a sharp eye being able at 10:25 PM seeing a gray/dark buffalo walking onto the road in time when traveling 90 km/h? Congrats. And where do you have the 200 m from? Pure speculation. I once traveled with the motorbike outside the village. A buffalo stepped out of some shrubbery maybe 10 m ahead when I noticed. And that was in daylight. I once had the displeasure to see much more ugly pictures traveling on highway 1 when a couple cars were involved in a crash with buffaloes. Split open carcass. Cars smeared in brown and red. Edited September 25, 2018 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by the way with your poor eyesight you should be careful out on the road yourself because if you look at the picture where the accident occurred you will see it is a well lit highway. !!! So I would certainly be sharp enough with that level of illumination to see 500 meters in front, let alone 200 . But no doubt the furry dice and/or the Buddha amulets and/or other rubbish dangling from his rear view mirror and/or looking at his phone and/or messaging , and/or drunk, all traits of poor Thai drivers is wasted on you. Let's blame the buffalos. As I said the 3rd one was driving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with the Soi Dogs here, they cause no end of accidents through people swerving or suddenly braking and nobody is responsible, there appears to be a theme here - No-One is responsible!!!

phil2407 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 As I think if you hit a buffalo during daylight hours is your fault no matter what! If you hit a buffalo during nighttime it’s the owners fault and responsible for repairs / injuries maybe Ubon Joe can clear this up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
