PHUKET: A 10-wheeled truck delivering a load beer to Patong overturned on the coastal road in Kamala last night (Jan 5).

 

Capt Jarus Laemphan of the Kamala Police was informed of the accident at 10pm.

 

Police and rescue workers arrived to find the truck on its side near the turnoff to Kamala Waterfall, with many boxes on San Miguel beer spilled – and crushed and broken – by the side of the road.

"The truck had come to a rest on its side after hitting two trees, and levelling a "Reduce Speed" sign, Capt Jarus noted"

What irony. A waste of beer too.

8/10 to Som' for the neatness of parallel parking to the white line .. 

Unfortunately 2 points deducted for it not still being on its wheels ..

Shaken, not stirred.

This is what happens when drivers sample the goods they are carrying.????

& if the driver has done a runner for doing the above, I would say the local neighbourhood may get to sample as well

There was a brewery years ago in Melbourne, all there beer was trucked interstate, some drivers would have a few freebies while waiting to load, you guessed it lol, get up the road later at night, arse over head they go, brewery quickly put a stop to drivers drinking.

This hill is getting worse and worse for vehicles- must be at least one a week either flipped, in the ditch or failed to get up the hill either side of the naka Police Box. A lot of people get impatient stuck behind slow vehicles as well and dangerously overtake, another reason that causes oncoming traffic to panic break and skid. I'd rather be delayed for 2 or three minutes than kill myself but others don't seem to have that mentality

 

Unfortunately its only a matter of time before a vehicle lands on one of the huts just to the east of the road.

LOL! The temptation is irresistible.

For two years in my twenties I was a truck driver without previous experience

on mountainous routes and I do not know how the Thais can so easily turn over

o.r make the heavy truck fly.
Maybe trucks in Thailand are sell without ABS just like scooters ????

[worgeordie]

I think the truck must have been drunk,cannot stay on its wheels,

It's got a hangover.

[mackayae]

I fear in the near future a pub with no beer.

[Burma Bill]

No loss really - San Miguel is awful (in my opinion)!

2000 devout followers of the profit???? were seen performing their devotions in the roadway downstream.
