webfact Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Lucky escape from "brake failure": Pick up driver was having his dinner Thai caption: Pick-up destroyed Picture: 77kaoded Pictures published by 77kaoded showed the utter devastation wrought on a pick up that was parked in the downtown area of Sa Kaeo city last night. The driver had stopped for a bite to eat in a restaurant by a bank and 7-Eleven on the Suwansorn Road. His pick-up was crushed by an 18 wheel truck-trailer on its way after delivering a load of sugar cane to a factory. Picture: 77kaoded Police said the vehicle was traveling at high speed and suffered brake failure. Just ahead of the devastation was a mound of animal feed corn and another damaged 18 wheeler. No one was injured. Muang district police are investigating.

Difficult to see anything surviving in that truck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedrogaz Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I don't know what it is about sugar cane that makes the drivers so abysmal. They overload the trucks and crawl along, deliver their load then drive back like Lewis Hamilton. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live near a sugar factory and we see daily how fast these criminals go with prehistoric vehicles, many without lights, the tampered exausts in order to make as much noise as possible and, probably drugs or alkohol to cloud the senses. Before something really terrible happens, remove these ANIMALS from the street !!! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surelynot Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Before something really terrible happens, remove these ANIMALS from the street ! Ain't never going to happen.

Adventra20 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Brake failure just a excuse. With that weight and at high speed no brakes on earth are going to pull that truck up in a hurry. Try brain fade, not brake fade!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damrongsak Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) The truck driver was watching an episode of The Dukes of Hazard and got a little excited. Or maybe he thought he could time travel into the past and get home before he even left that day. Edited January 21, 2020 by Damrongsak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unamazedloso Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 brake failure my arss! just not possible. Complete brake failure or just a trailer, what? never an explination! Anyone investigate the brakes yet? We live about 3km from a sugar can factory and all these douche bags are yabba dabba doers, always drunk and drive like absolute idiots. Take up the whole road and block traffic like they are so dam important. Really miserable society these days. Im sure decades ago when i first came here life wasnt this crazy. More population, more greed, more drugs, more corruption, less tourists..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
