Thailand has the highest road traffic death rate among ASEAN countries and the 9th highest in the world with dozens dying everyday and hundreds of injured a day, and today's accident is just part of that stratistics...

Nevermind, they'll have a safety awareness "campaign " 2 days before the 7 deadly days of Songkran next year!
