A sleepy truck driver crashed and overturned while returning to his hometown, severely injuring three people.

 

Koh Chan police responded to a road accident on 331 Road inbound to Sattahip in the Tha Bunmi subdistrict on Wednesday, July 20th. Three people including a woman sustained critical injuries.

 

At the accident scene, a black Mitsubishi Triton was found in an upside down position. Police also found a demolished bronze Honda Wave motorbike that the truck was previously carrying nearby. Three victims including two men and one woman suffered critical injuries and were rushed to a hospital.

Do trucks here have Tachographs , we had them donkeys years ago,

maybe something more modern now , but it recorded your driving

hours, mandatory rest period , speed etc, they were checked regularly

by authorities , 

 

"Koh Chan police initially took pictures of the accident scene as evidence to possibly press legal action against the driver because a sign pole, which was state property, was damaged."

Not a lot about the driver ,only he may have fallen asleep , but he's in a lot of trouble if he has to pay for the sign......????

At this time it's 9 hours since the article was posted and you and I are the only people that have put finger to key.

 

As far as we know nobody else gives a ****.

 

Indeed why should they?

 

"Just another day on Thai roads.........who gives a ****?" is entirely the appropriate attitude to take.

Seriously ? More interested  in pressing charges for the state pole than the critically injured innocents ?

The police view this as a perfectly acceptable defence along with wet roads.

I know a pickup truck can be called a truck, but this headline is a bit misleading (at least to me) because I presumed it was a larger vehicle with maybe more than four wheels. It looks like this was just a Mitsubishi Triton pickup.

People were asleep at the bed [sic] when this was posted.????

They were the occupants of the vehicle. No collateral damage except the signpost...and the police need their pound of flesh for their inconvenience !
