Video: Four seriously injured in collision at Korat accident blackspot

 

video screenshot

 

Dash cam footage showed the moment a white car travelling at high speed swerved after overtaking and collided with a black pick-up coming in the other direction.

 

The pick-up ended in the undergrowth with the innocent driver in a grievous condition. 

 

Three occupants of the white car were also severely injured. 

 

The accident happened on the Prathai - Khong Road in Non Daeng district heading towards Nakhon Ratchasima.

 

It was just 2 kilometers from the Non Daeng Hospital. 

 

Netizens who commented in droves generally blamed speeding.

 

Thai Rath - in a sub-titled commentary showing the smash on loop - said that the white car driver was probably not familiar with the road that bottlenecks at that point with four lanes being reduced to two. 

 

They said it was a blackspot where there are frequent accidents.

So its the roads fault again? Nothing to do with the "see a gap and go for it mentality" ?

Just another complete lunatic. 

Truck is in slow lane. I'm in quick lane ready to overtake him. Crazy car comes from behind, rushes through narrowing gap between me and truck. This happens all the times. And always scares <deleted> out of me.  Same type of guy as in video.

There is no cure for this Thai virus????

Must     Get   In front    Of    Other   Car    At   All   Costs!

 

Cannot      Lose     Face.

 

(read this like Captain KIrk would)

 

Terrible drivers, all of them! And yes, I mean All Of Them. ????

Plus, the road markings are a great clue, but when Thai drivers see these markings, they think they are soooo pretty. That's about the extent of what they understand them to be!  ????

What has this to do with Korat accident hotspot.

This was just a braindead fool who doesn't belong in a car or on any road...

I have lived here since '99 and I fully understand that all countries have their pros and cons. The main problem that I have observed is that all Netizens complain on Facebook or Line and then turn right around and drive the same way. I live in an an fairly isolated location in Phitsanulok province and every day, I see idiots behind the wheel like the once shown below passing on a bridge...

What I can't understand is why the video has been edited to show the accident seven times?

 

Well things are certainly getting back to normal in a hurry. Next video please.

What 'Road Narrows' sign?

They're usually painted on the road, a couple of metres before the road narrows ????

To try to get the message through to incompetent suicide jockeys, though I have my doubts that 7 times is enough !!!

I'm impressed with the girl who screams (before the accident), great awareness, unusual in Thailand.

If you are a driver, no matter what the road does, you should be aware, sadly here people ONLY learn to pass a test NOT TO drive and concentrate on what they are doing .

Why you may ask, so you can  see what a stupid driver does.

And if you spend too much time looking in the mirrors for Idiots there won't be any time left for looking where you are going and all the other Idiots in front of you !

It's never enough; we have a family member; 19 years old, completely crazy on the road and thinks he is indestructible, so i showed him a few movies of accidents in Thailand.  He just laughed and said he was a great driver and it would never happen to him.   That's the mindset; it's always going to happen to someone else and never them !

Yes, a few times I've been paying too much attention to what's happening behind and something got busy in front..lucky my "superhuman" reflexes saved the day ????

According the DLT video test:

Q: How often should you check your rear view mirror? A: Every 4-8 seconds!

Nowadays I only really check if I'm changing lanes,thinking of overtaking or stopping, the rest of the time I'm fully focussed on the "idiots" in front.
