Fourteen vocational students were killed, and others were seriously injured, when their pick-up truck crashed into a roadside utility power pole and overturned in Bang Phli district of Samut Prakan province early this morning.

 

The pick-up was a complete wreck and was found about 200 meters from the pole in Soi Kingkaew 21 of Tambon Rachatheva.

 

According to an initial police report, there were 18 students, from Si Sa Ket technical college, crammed into the bed of the truck. The students had just completed job training at a factory in Samut Prakan and been at a party before attending a Mor Lum concert in Soi Kingkaew 21. Police said that the fatal accident occurred as the pickup truck was taking the students back to their lodgings.

Because he knows some of them?

 

It would certainly effect me if I saw photos of the broken bodies of young people that I knew..

 

 

Thanks, I didn't know what to write.

Update.....17 kids have lost their lives in this accident. Apparently two trucks were racing don't know if both were loading down with passengers.

The local's said that "trucks driving fast" is common to this area....alcohol consumption is common too...with driving...???

 

There'll be more, I'm afraid.

13 students of Sisaket Technical College were killed and multiple others injured when a pickup truck full of students

I mean really,  13 kids in a pickup truck?

Sad fact is 50-60 people die every day in Thailand in vehicle accidents, yet not covered in the news.  102 road fatalities per day in the USA.  

RIP and condolences to all family and friends

Will be going to visit one of the families impacted by this loss, as the boy came from my GF’s village(near Uthomphon). I am told the driver (who survived) had been drinking with his passengers/victims.

R.I.P.

There were two pickups involved. And alcohol, plus who knows what. 

I read "a pickup truck" so assumed one.  Tragic
