They don't mess around, do they? Seems every accident is what we aliens would call a horror crash!

That is one hell of a mess and very obviously a very high speed collision 

 

 

The carnage continues

 

The sooner we have self driving cars the better

let's just hope that when they do come, a Thai IT person isn't programming them 

Strange how the vehicles ended up so close together ,after such an impact..

In the meantime the more they kill themselves the less lunatics there are to endanger us.

Cruel but true. mind you, they will just raise a new generation of lunatic drivers. 

OMG Thai people just love high speed driving 

Drive safely and drive slowly and you probably will live another day 

 

It took a while for my eyes to figure out what I was looking at ... what a wreck. Every day on Thai roads is a dice roll.

I had great difficulty trying to see any semblance of 2 motor vehicles in any of those pictures. Maybe they had a closing speed in excess of 280 km. What a waste (of 2 very nice vehicles) 

Is this a case of one driver was wrong or two drivers were driving at risk?

 

since only one drive lived, will they get the truth or better to try to figure it out from the evidence....

 

i doubt the the truth will be told from one side....

Both drivers were killed.  Speed kills but nothing is done during the hours of daylight to limit speeding drivers; nothing is done at weekends as RTP don't work then; nothing is done during the hours of darkness as RTP don't work then either.  In fact ......

I was thinking the same probably traveling at the same speed same weight and direct  head on impact.

Detective work from a keyboard for sure.

So many expert accident investigators posting from the comfort of a barstool or sofa. Armed with nothing more than a second hand news report, this brigade of super sleuths can blather on about the details of the accident with divine certainty.

Sure just coming back from a tea party at grandma's home.

Try taking a drive down Sukhumvit in the early hours. You can get an idea of the likelihood of a few drunk drivers coming together on their way home. Used to head towards Sattahip real early for fishing trips, some strange driving habits seen.
