Photoguy21 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Tired or stoned out of his mind? I would go for the later as it is obvious the vehicle was travelling at high speed, something that may not be noticed if under the influence of drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that being stoned and being drunk are two entirely different things, don't you? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and do you realise that driver was completely out of it That's your speculation only and without a shred of evidence, so no, I do realise that nor recognise it without proof. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidneyw Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 At least no Kinaree on top of it, so should be cheaper to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Just finished posting on another pickup crash in Phuket It will never get better. 27 minutes ago, worrab said: That is not a pickup!! Good reporting as usual..........lol. How can you be sure. Could be the rare case of a pickup/light truck used for meaningful purpose, delivery truck with a close cargo cabin and a wind deflector. It's obviously not a long truck. Delivery driver paid on piecework fallen asleep. Would makes perfect sense after 12+ hours at the wheel?

A pick up truck is a a vehicle with a normally open load bay at the rear with either a 2 man or a crew cab, engine at the front under a bonnet. That in the picture is a small delivery truck which is totally different. You can tell by looking at the cab showing the engine will be under the cab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
