A secondary schoolgirl in Chaiyaphum was crushed to death by a cement truck on Wednesday morning, while she was riding a motorcycle driven by her aunt to pay her school fees for the new semester.

 

Police said the accident happened at 8.4 am on highway No 201 or the Chaiyaphum-Si Kiew road. The accident happened in front of Mpac Concrete Co Ltd in Chaiyaphum’s Muang district.

 

The schoolgirl was identified as Nalim Napinrat, 15, a resident of Chaiyphum’s Nern Sa-nga district.

 

Her aunt, Nongnuch Santia, 30, sat weeping while waiting for police at the scene. She suffered bruises all over her body.

 

The truck driver, Kittichai Chuacharoen, 40, also waited for police at the scene with his Mpac Concrete Co Ltd truck.

 

Nongnuch told police that she was driving her niece to her school to pay the semester fee when the truck suddenly cut in front of her. She said her motorcycle hit the middle area of the truck and fell under and a wheel of the truck crushed the head of her niece.

 

The truck driver was later taken to the Muang Chaiyaphum police station for questioning. Police were conducting an investigation with the intent of later charging the truck driver.

Just to be fair, it’s not known- as far as i can see - that a factual determination of “fault” has been made here. While any death is tragic - even more so for someone of this age... but to me, the question of “how’s that fair?” Is a bit too early to be asked or answered as the facts aren’t in.

Could the driver be 100% at fault? Yes- that I suspect could be a possibility .... but, to be fair, I also have to hold out the possibility that other players - including the other driver- may also be wholly or partially at fault.

Video pretty clearly shows the cycle driver not paying attention and not seeing the very slowly moving truck until too late to stop.

She apparently tried to brake and turn at the same time and just slid into the truck (morning news).

Shouldn't they be conducting an investigation to determine whether the driver should be charged?

Truck turning left. Motorbike in left lane passing on the left. Driver can't see the motorcycle, Motorcyclist can't see the driver or even look for the driver in his mirror. 

Motorcyclist not looking at the truck's turn signal.

Neither anticipating the next move or outcome.

Totally wrong assumption by you.
