Old Croc Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I thought it a little strange the damage was on the left side of the van, then I read this in the link: * Correction: The van struck the back of the truck. It was not a head-on collision. The error is regretted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofarnorth Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 One less minibus on the road , I wonder how old it was , brand new ones don't end up like this surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 This is the third case of a minibus running into a truck in the past couple of weeks. The ice truck would be dropping off ice. I guess these drivers are tired or on the mobile phone not paying attention ahead. Correction - just read that the ice truck was not stopped but driving along the center lane when struck.

hotchilli Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 There are no such things as lanes in Thailand... drivers use all the tarmac/concrete from curbside to curbside as one road... direction is optional !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
