Two men, 16 buffaloes injured in Payao truck accident

By The Nation

 

 

Two men and 16 water buffaloes were killed early on Thursday when a truck transporting 20 buffaloes lost control and overturned in Phayao's Muang district.

 

 

Police said the accident happened at 4.48am on the Ban San Khajao-Huay Nam Khao road in Moo 7 village in Tambon Tha Wang Thong.

 

 

The truck driver, Kitisak Phanphon, 30, and his passenger, Kamphol Srikham, 30, were killed. Fourteen of the animals were killed and the rest were injured.

 

Rescuers used iron cutters to free the men from inside the truck.

 

Police said the truck lost control at the curve of the road and overturned apparently because of the weight of the animals.

I hope my in-law's buffalo is OK, well I will find out end of the month...

Some farangs will get a request for money from their wife/gf to pay the medical for injured buffaloes.

Lek, Nid and Mon are already printing up multiple copies of the photo to use as evidence in their financial dealings ????

After the accident, the police had a serious job trying to get traffic moving again.

The BARGIRLS were there in droves, phones out taking pictures to be sent around the world to gullible farang boyfriends.????

no different that the countless hundreds of thousands of humans slaughtered on the highways in Thailand.

 

no doubt the buffaloes will bring a higher compensation than the humans.

 

RIP buffaloes. We hardly knew you.

Probably would have stood a better chance if two of the buffalo's had been driving the truck with 16 men in the back!

And for our member who doesn't know about buffalo.

Shame for the animals. I'd bet speed was the factor.

Forget the flying doctor service - that's old hat. The flying buffalo service.

Just don't stand underneath the plane when they empty the cesspit.

 

[Lupatria]

By only reading the headline I thought, how the heck did the two guys manage to get 8 buffaloes on their motorbikes?

Thats a lot of moveable weight,taking a corner too fast the buffalo's 

would have all moved over to one side (like the oil tanker the other day)

resulting in the truck to tip over, the only good thing to come out of it,

is there will be cheap pre tenderised buffalo meat for the locals.

A couple of months ago at a livestock market they were loading 3 of these huge buffs into the back of a geriatric pickup as the 3rd one was squashed on the front lifted up and the buff fell off. far from give up they continued on their loading quest until I could not watch anymore from rib damage through laughing ????

Ah yes , the buffalo theory.   buffalo going home from the rice field with drunk farmer asleep , meets buffalo coming the other way with another drunk farmer , Buffaloes look at each other and move along .   Now , a few years later drunk farmers asleep at the wheel crash into each other.  

[Ramdas]

It saddens me seeing so many innocent animals dieing because of human stupidity, it should’ve been the other way round as someone mentioned above, I’m sure the buffalos are far more sensible and respectful animals than the ones with two legs without a brain ????

Yes it is sad, but I suspect the buffalo where probably on their way to the slaughter house anyway...… that's where all the cow and buffalo end up in the end, so getting killed in a road accident, or in a slaughter house, they are going to die one day.

 

 

[digger70]

16 Buffalo and not one cattle truck . Sure there must be a Law against loading cattle on flattops with just low sides an proper floor mats for cattle.... 

 OHhhhhh, this is Thailand  care factor here is Zero.   ????

Yes indeed. I was "stung" 300,000 baht for "chemie" for maize, not rice. I was told I would get my money back but when the crop was harvested I was told "no money" because the sweet corn canning company did not pay a high price - so BEWARE!!!
