Ban Bueng – A buffalo’s leg was broken after being hit by a pickup truck in Ban Bueng while the driver of the truck has sustained multiple moderate injuries.

 

The Ban Bueng Police were notified of the accident earlier this week at midnight in the Nong Bondang sub-district. Law enforcement arrived at the scene to find the female driver, Preeyaphon Tanakornchaiyakarn, 29. She had sustained various moderate injuries but was cognizant and able to speak to the associated Thai press while getting medical aid.

 

Preeyaphon stated, “I was driving my pickup truck heading to Bangkok. When I arrived at a curve, the area was too dark and two buffalos ran out in front of me.

This will be a very widely circulated copy throughout the world.

Buffalo Physiotherapy is very expensive.

Did Plod breathalise the buffalos?

From the photo, I wondered why she was driving her pickup through a field of sugar cane/bamboo?

Yes, buffalos are known for their speed.

I have seen them running. Very fast and scary if at you.

In the night hard to see the beast in time.

And they can break through the bushes in an instant.

Sleepless buffaloes.

It looks like a field, but in fact it is a curve - according to the driver.

Has anyone checked up on the buffalo? Post updates on the incident please.

Get too close to a mother protecting her calf and you'll discover just how fast a buffalo can run!

Hope the Buffalo recovers soon

The further confirmation that driving on the roads of Thailand is very dangerous where even the buffalo do not respect the rules of the road

no lights !! norm. for thai drivers !!!  done well to stop in a rice field ?? not on the road !!!!!! cant be speeding !!

It will be "well" cooked and eaten over the next few weeks. One of our neighbors buffalos fell over in a rice field and broke a leg. It was slaughtered and processed right where it fell.

She parked the car there to provide first aid to the poor buffalo

I am very sorry for the buffalo. It will most likely be killed and eaten unless it's leg can be repaired. Given the appalling way animals are treated generally, not only in Thailand, I don't fancy it's chances. The driver will not be punished in any way, of course.

From the link, your question would be answered...she wasn't driving in a field.

You think that the farmer will have insurance covering his negligence?

Hope it doesn't turn out to be chief inspector Sombat's "prize" buffalo !   Wonder if she hit the wrong pedal ?

"It will most likely be killed and eaten unless it's leg can be repaired".

Not very nice to assume the injured woman is a sex worker.
