Kept hearing ambulances yesterday in the morning, either heading up Suk towards and from Laem Chabang, or up Hwy 36 toward Pong from Suk (and back). Obviously this was not it. Busy weekend coming up, so expect more, Bangkok drivers get confused when they see space in front of them. 

Coming back from Bangkok some time back, I counted NINE vehicles telescoped together in the fast lane.  Looking at the above photo, it's easy to see excessive speed was the main contributor.

And the penchant for getting up your axx.

Looking at the damage one could assume speed was a factor.
