Indian tourists have sustained minor injuries after the minivan they were traveling in over-turned in Krabi on the way back to Ao Nang from Phuket.

 

Ao Nang Police were notified of the incident on Nong Talay – Khao Thong Road in Mueang Krabi District yesterday at 10.30am.

 

Police and emergency responders arrived to find the passenger van flipped over, on its side, in a roadside verge. It also crashed through the mains water pipe for the local village, causing water shortages for villagers.

Not only are the mad men causing the road slaughter, they're destroying the infrastructure to, power poles, trees, and now water pipes.

He says he lost control of his vehicle as the roads were slippery from rain

Well, he could have reduced his speed to suit the road conditions, or is this too much to ask?

far too much to ask.....they do not realise that when roads get a little wet skidding can occur....on an oily surface.....and they never slow down as you say.....

After almost killing off the Chinese population the tourist numbers dropped, so the TAT strategy was to start courting the Indian population... got a few million chances there before they too get the message!

Never, ever again will I ride in a minivan with those devil-may-care psycopathic maniacs! They are all as bad as each other. ระวัง does not exist in their speed-focused mentality, they have a total lack of responsibility for passengers and a total disregard for safety of other road-users.
