Two killed, eight injured in four-vehicle pileup in Korat

By The Nation

 

 

A boy and a woman were killed and eight others severely injured in a pileup involving two pickup trucks, a 10-wheeler and a six-wheel truck in Nakhon Ratchasima’s Chok Chai district early on Tuesday.

 

The Chok Chai Police Station learnt of the accident on Chokchai-Dej Udom Road at 3.30am.

 

Police said 10-year-old Apiphu Chunratanakul, and Nanthachaporn, 27, succumbed to their injuries while being transported to the hospital with eight other injured people. 

 

Police said the pileup was apparently triggered by the six-wheel truck, which hit the rear of the 10-wheeler in front of it, which then hit the rear of the pickup truck, pushing it to hit the rear of another pickup ahead of it. 

 

Police have yet to interrogate the drivers of the four vehicles, who are all in hospital, before deciding how to press charges.

oh never mind everyone will be safe with the big clamp down next week - if only they had been traveling a few days later 

 

Police on the scene after the event - pity they weren't there on the road before it happened enforcing moving traffic laws 

 

They just don't get it do they

 

when the police come out of their training (hilarious) are they all issued with a shovel

At 0330 you would find few cops any where directing traffic. Get over the nonsense, cops everywhere are lazy setting in their patrol cars getting a few zzzzzzzs unless of course they are called out.

Hey what about everyone staying off each other bumpers?

 

sounds like speed and insufficient distance between cars....deadly combo
