Geoffggi Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 What ever happened to using proper busses to transport people - Too expensive I suppose which would eat into the profits .... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Inala Posted April 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2022 Actually, this is an excellent outcome. Most times this headline would read as '14 people killed when truck overturns' Then there would be the usual pictures of multiple bodies lying side-by-side on the road covered in sheets. Usually it would also involve a squashed motorcyclist as well who had been overtaking on the inside when the truck overturned. Plus throw in a couple of innocent bystanders who may have been crossing the road there. So the fact that no one was killed here is a bloody miracle. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) Quote From the linked article: The truck driver, Mr. Parinya Pakamalaithep, 35, told TPN reporters, “Workers and I were heading back to Ban Bueng from Sri Racha. There was another vehicle in front of my truck and I immediately stopped. I tried to avoid the collision before the truck lost control and overturned.” So the truck driver wasn’t looking where he was going (on his phone) and saw the other vehicle in front of him too late - he then had to swerve and nearly killed everyone.... .... it was of course the trucks fault for overturning !
