Fifteen students and three adults were injured when a cold-storage truck collided with a song-taew bus on a Phatthalung road on Friday morning.
 

The injured were taken to Phatthalung Hospital following the 7am accident at a curve on the Asia Highway in Moo 3, Tambon Tha Kae, in Muang district.

 

There was great commotion at the hospital with students crying in pain. Police said three of the injured were badly hurt.

 

The bus was already full with students heading to school when it stopped at the curve to pick up another passenger.

 

The six-wheel truck rear-ended it as the driver pulled onto the road, causing both vehicles to fall to the roadside.

No enforcement of seat limitation then..........

Driver pulls into traffic without looking?

Sadly, just another statistic. Wishing a speedy recovery to the injured.

90% of all Thai road users do this. Motorbike/scooter users are the worst.

A song-taew doubling as a school bus! An idiot driver stops in a turn! And loving parents would allow their precious children to get into that death trap!

 

It's really pathetic.
