Three-year-old's words bring rescue workers to tears after fatal bus crash

By The Nation

 

 

An innocent comment of a three-year-old boy, sitting near his Lao mum's dead body after a fatal bus crash in Nakhon Ratchasima on Thursday night, brought rescue workers to tears.

 

"I'm not hurt. My mum hurts and she is now sleeping under that blanket," the toddler said pointing at one of the three bodies that rescue workers had placed on the roadside. 

 

Police say the Bangkok-That Phanom bus - carrying 44 people - was reportedly running at high speed heading to Bangkok when it reached Noen Sung area in the rain. 

 

The bus lost control on the slippery surface of Mitraparap Highway in tambon Tanote and crashed into a roadside tree. 

 

Thirty-two people were injured - 10 were in critical condition. Three people were killed and identified as the unnamed Thai bus driver in his 30s, the toddler's Laotian mother, Doung Pimmasorn, 39, and Thai woman Lawan Charoenwong, 45.

It is a cultural trait that starts from the top. No one wants to accept responsibility when the sh$t hits the fan!

 

They would rather make excuses than accept FACTS! TIT.

He is Thai no doubt so hence not responsible for anything.

 

The Thai government could care less-sadly

Well, that's just one that was unreported, not "many".

He caused the accident that killed two other people, who were named.

Your comment suggests that the government has some degree of care, if it didn't, it couldn't care less.

Well, so far, it's only you, someone who has no information at all about the accident investigation, apart from what's in the OP, that is claiming, categorically that he caused the accident and the deaths, so how would knowing his name help?

Wouldn't help much, just curious why his name was withheld.
