AhFarangJa Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The bus was already full with students heading to school when it stopped at the curve to pick up another passenger. No enforcement of seat limitation then.......... The six-wheel truck rear-ended it as the driver pulled onto the road, causing both vehicles to fall to the roadside. Driver pulls into traffic without looking? Sadly, just another statistic. Wishing a speedy recovery to the injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1337markus Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Driver pulls into traffic without looking? 90% of all Thai road users do this. Motorbike/scooter users are the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
300sd Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
