webfact Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Three injured in 12-vehicle pile-up in Bangkok By The Nation Nation TV An 18-wheel truck lost control on the down ramp of a Ramkhamhaeng Road flyover in Bangkok's Bang Kapi district, crashing into two vehicles and causing a chain reaction that caught up a dozen vehicles late on Tuesday night. Police said four vehicles caught fire and three people were injured in the accident at 10.30pm near the Lam Salee Intersection. Police arrested the driver of the truck, Suwachat Pruprong, 24, on a charge of reckless driving causing injuries and property damage. They also tested him for drugs and are awaiting the results. Suwachat claimed he had braked hard after a motorcycle cut across his path, but lost control before hitting a taxi that was stopped at the intersection’s red light. The force of the impact shunted cars against each other like billiard balls.

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted October 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2018 How fast was he going to loose control after 'braking hard' to avoid a motorcycle? How fast was he going to shunt not one but four cars? Hmm... its all a bit Whiffy... How about he was speeding and driving dangerously and leave it at that.. The excuse people make on the roads here are extremely childish and these fools dish out these excuses on a daily basis when involved in an accident. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dmaxdan Posted October 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2018 And so it continues.....Excess speed, a total lack of awareness and zero driving ability. Its beyond pathetic now. At least nobody died on this occasion. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SkyNets Posted October 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2018 This is barely news anymore, there should be a minimum of 20 cars or 10 deaths before reporting. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redline Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Nothing will be done to address this. Interesting the government is worried about a drop in population numbers, and aging population when most of the deaths are young people. They even spend money on paying for people to have babies.

Obviously, sometimes it is someone elses fault but it seems to be quoted a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
