Siam Rath reported on a collision between two pick-ups around midnight Saturday at the Nong Phak Nam intersection on Route 36 in Muang district of Rayong, central/east Thailand. 

 

A green Isuzu pick-up collided with a Ford.

 

Two people in the Isuzu died - they were named as Jakkrapong, 60 and Chiang, a Cambodian. 

 

Three people in the Isuzu were taken to hospital. One is out of danger, two remain critical.

 

They were all named as Cambodian nationals Teuang, 52, and Wenna, 22 and the driver of the vehicle, a Thai called Saichon.

 

No one inside the Ford was hurt. The Isuzu was propelled into a central reservation lamppost and was completely destroyed.

 

The Isuzu contained workers on their way home from a Pluak Daeng industrial estate.

SPEED looks to be the factor in this crash.....

[KhunBENQ]

Another day, another battlefield. So sad.

 

Call me prejudiced but small wheels, sporty rims and a crazy color for a pickup.

Do we like to do some pickup racing?

Yea, and that would be almost every crash, speed / too fast for conditions.  If people did the speed limit, very few would die on the roads.IMHO

and stopping on a red - why do people run reds here - because they get away with it, no fear of being caught and prosecuted

 

RIP

Also the workers were probably siting in the back of the truck.  (It probably has a name that I don't know.  The truck bed?)

same story, modified Isuzu - wide wheels . lowered suspension , go faster exhaust ,  gungho speedsters probably with the minimum government giveaway insurance - what does one expect with such ridiculous lawless policies  ?

Never would I call you crazy.

Do not ever ride BIG sois. Death Wish.

Speed maybe drunk too,could be no license. these must be a factor in the damage and pics.I was reversing just touched the front bumper and the owners saw,the girlfriend went spare.Just a Tcut was all that was needed.If that was me looking at pic,s of this accident Tcut would not fix this accident

He Died.....It says so in The Headline.....

Thai roads are so dangerously designed - if an incident happened it is often exacerbated by the stationing of obstacles in the central reservation - lamp-posts trees bollards signs etc. Little use is made of armco barriers etc.

as you are less likely to die in a 4-wheeled vehicle than in the USA and together with the USA Thailand has one of the h=ghest pickup ownerships in the world - I can't see the point you are making.

The RTP don't have a properly trained road incident unit. 

To understand the road safety problems in tHailand each incident needs to scientifically analysed - this occurs in countries with the lowest crash injury and death rates.

A crash report form is an essential starting point

Key variables typically collected include:

 

·      crash location (including geographic coordinates);

·      time of day, day of week, month of year, year;

·      information on those who were involved (including road user type, age, gender, injury sustained);

·      details regarding the road (whether at an intersection, speed limit, curvature, traffic control, markings);

·      details on the environment (light conditions, weather, road markings/surface, wet or dry);

·      information regarding what happened in the crash (vehicle movement types, objects struck (including off-road), and contributory factors such as speed, alcohol use or driver distraction);

·      vehicle factors (type of vehicles involved).

 

Te figures in Thailand have remained pretty constant for the last 3 decades, which isn't surprising s they haven't even taken the first steps in real road safety.

No comparison.

 

The interesting thing is that they have  no pejorative term like 'farang' for Asian foreigners.

And many more will follow as long drivers of these cars think they are Max Verstappen, there car is a F1 car and they can use their phone, alcohol or drugs when they are on the road.
