An accident involving two pick-ups, a car and a truck trailer left seven people seriously injured in Cha-Am yesterday morning.

 

It happened as a man in a pick-up was trying to do a U-turn by the Bor Khaem PTT gas station.

 

There was a collision that resulted in two pick-ups being propelled onto the other side of the road into two oncoming vehicles - a truck trailer and a Camry.

Hate to do U Turns here, Dangerous , If there is a vehicle coming from the opposite way and want to do a U Turn and has to wait for his turn to do a  safe  turn than one can't see the oncoming traffic because the vehicle  blocks the view one has nearly go On the Road to see oncoming traffic. 

They should make it that there only can be One side off the road can do a U turn. 

Make it so that the Other side of the road can do a U turn say 200/300 Mtrs further on.

Crazy  Traffic  Ideas Country.

That is a very, very wide road. And yet....... You just know that if two drivers met on this road they'd collide with each other.

Definitely back to normal.... it's a shame the "state of emergency" doesn't extend to the roads.

More than likely a mix of speeding and tail-gating.
