Police found the woman, named Banchuen, 39, and her daughter, aged 4, injured when they arrived at the accident scene. The two were given first aid before being sent to hospital. According to truck driver Surasak Kowmanee, 42, Banchuen’s car crashed into his vehicle when he decided to turn his trailer into the industrial estate. The car then continued moving and crashed again by the side of the road. Surasak jumped out of his trailer and raced to the car. He saw a worried Banchuen calling out for her daughter, who had been thrown out of the car window. Surasak searched for the girl and found her injured nearby.

Popular Post greenmonkey Posted August 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2020 4 year old was thrown from the car.... when will this country start using seat belts!!!!! It makes me both sad and angry at the Thai parents' lack of regard for their kids safety by not using seat belts. I will tell my wife's friends time after time about the importance of seat belts, they will nod and smile and then totally ignore what I am telling them. I have given up now. Just sad. 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be a child safety seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having just driven Hua Hin to BKK I can safely say the drivers are getting worse and worse, they particularly like swerving in and out with no signals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have absolutely no interest in their kids safety. How many let them drive motorcycles underage, no license, no skills, no strength to properly control the bike, no road sense. And then show up in tears as their offspring's body is loaded into the back of a pickup. They just have no interest and prefer to play Russian roulette with their life. It's deeply ingrained into the culture and so you see it every day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchilli Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Not sure if standard fitted seat belts would have done anything for a 4 year old... even if worn in a hard impact she could have been thrown out. At that age a child seat arrangement would have been a preferred choice, but to be honest in all the years of living here I have never seen a child seat fitted in a car!
