rooster59 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Bus driver killed, 33 injured in collision with truck By Manit Sanapboon The Nation Image: 77Kaoded.com A bus driver was killed and 33 passengers injured following a collision with an 18-wheel truck in Prachin Buri province early on Saturday. The bus was taking 44 passengers from the eastern province of Rayong to the northeastern province of Nong Khai. The Rayong-Nong Khai inter-provincial bus reportedly attempted to overtake the truck that was transporting milk on highway number 304 in Kabin Buri district, but skidded on the slippery road following rains and crashed violently into the truck's rear. The bus driver Sombat Keebjampi, 50, died on the spot while 33 passengers suffered injuries. The truck driver, Kreingsak Paewthang, 42, escaped unhurt and pulled over to wait for police at the scene. Police investigation was ongoing to see if the bus driver had dozed off behind the wheel, or recklessly driving had caused the accident, Sa Bua deputy superintendent Pol Lt-Colonel Praphot Srithongpian.

Matzzon Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Skidded or skidded my ass?!! What´s the point? You all seem to miss the obvious.

Seems to me that the Thailands finest believe that a dozed off person can manage to make it look like the try to overtake another viechle. I would say it´s reckless driving that caused this accident, byt I am also pretty sure that the Lt-Colonel will need a couple of days for the baht to drop down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post colinneil Posted September 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2019 Another life lost due to very poor driving skills. If the bus was trying to overtake and skidded into the rear of the truck, pathetic driving. If the driver fell asleep, again pathetic driving skills, should have stopped, or should never have bee behind the wheel due to tiredness. Yet again another bus crash, when will the authorities stop turning a blind eye and do something? Answer never, too many rich hi-sos making money, and that is all that matters here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post reargunnerph3 Posted September 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2019 Overtaking and fell asleep? Unf'n believable.
