Tha Muang police in Kanchanaburi in western Thailand were alerted to an accident on the Saeng Chuto old road.

 

It happened by a bend in the road near the entrance to a temple.

 

The driver of a Toyota Vigo was travelling at speed about 8pm last night when the driver lost control at the bend.

Most of the injuries were thankfully minor ones and there was no loss of life.

Doubt it, the insurance people will probably have given him a shinny new car to write off next week

"traveling at speed" is usually how vehicles travel.

But it might be informative to know at what speed in this story.

I guess another blame of wet roads or brake failure.

A tad too much speed is all you need to know.
