Video: When your time is up.... monk and rider crushed under truck at level crossing in Suphanburi

Horrific CCTV footage from a level crossing in Suphanburi province in central Thailand showed the moment that a truck trailer laden with animal feed overturned crushing two Thai men yesterday. 

 

The deceased were travelling on a motorcycle and sidecar. They were 64 year old Montha and Phra Manop, 56, a monk at the nearby temple of Wat Nong Wan Priang. 

 

The pair were returning to the temple on Route 321 after the monk completed his alms round. 

 

The driver of the truck that had Phitsanulok plates was Chainarong, 29, who was taken to hospital. 

 

Thung Khok police and rescue services employed two cranes to lift the overturned truck. 

 

The rescue services were tasked with the grisly job of removing the victims that suffered horrendous injuries.

 

Sanook reported that the truck had tried to avoid a collision after another truck in front braked suddenly. But the driver lost control resulting in the death of the two innocent victims.

 

The media said that this is an accident blackspot.

And I hope his next stop is prison for manslaughter.... his driving was solely to blame for the deaths of these two innocent victims!

The title says so much..."When your time is up"..... is a clue to why so little is done to improve road safety. Thais really do believe in Karma; that things happen for a reason. There is a strong inclination to view life from a meta-physical point of view rather than to try and control its outcomes. Perhaps why things never really change here even though they are changing all the time.
