The pickup truck driver, Mr. Prawit Thongtanom, 24, told TPN media, “My girlfriend and I were heading back home from the Pattaya Firework Festival. The motorbike driver immediately crossed in front of my truck and I was unable to stop.”

Mr. Prawit was not injured in the accident.

Police are checking Cctv footage nearby to find the exact cause of the accident for potential legal action, however, no charges were immediately placed on Mr. Prawit.

 

 

1:30am - the driver of the pickup must have taken a very long detour, I hope he was tested for alcohol

They showed the aftermath of this tragedy on tmn cable news. Awful. Young girl and teenage girl (I think) wiped out. Survivor barely conscious.

 

TMN seems to run a crash channel in the evening. Yet the horrors continue unabated.

Bearing in mind that an average of about 50 people die in motorcycle accidents every day, there were probably more serious accidents that didn't make the news.

So you find the driver of the pick up guilty already, rather than wait and see if it could be the fault of the 3 up motorcycle rider

RIP and another RIP tomorrow.  Life can be brutal.

Were you there? Did you see the accident happen?

 

If you were not, then you have no idea what happened, and you are speculating on a second or third hand report.

Vain hope unfortunately. Police here are inept and corrupt.

[Stargeezr]

Two people died and someone thinks that this was not a serious accident?

   What does it take to be serious, 2 buses full of people crashing and all die?

[Mr Meeseeks]

My mate was involved in a serious motorbike accident yesterday. All down to to another idiot Thai driver with no driving ability nor insurance.

Why, or did you witness the accident, if you did (doubtful of course) -trust you have made a full disclosure to the police so they can act accordingly - but then maybe you just can't help making ridicules statements.
