webfact Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Picture: INN It was an accident story that had it all and was reported by INN. Police and rescue services were called to the Lopburi Rames local road leading into Hat Yai in the far south of Thailand after an Isuzu pick-up slammed into a roadside tree. The police found the occupants had all survived - a mum and dad and their four year old son. These were Asan, 20, Haruthai, 27, and little Jakkrit. Picture: INN Jakkrit was proudly showing off his Luang Poo Tuat amulet and said this is what saved them. Mum Haruthai said he got the amulet from a relative, she wasn't sure what particular one it was. Asan said that he had been on his way to trade in the Isuzu for a newer model at a dealership. Picture: INN It had been nothing but trouble recently wobbling all over the road and handling unpredictably. He admitted that the day before he had driven off the road due to his vehicle behaving strangely. Now this. He said the brakes locked and he was powerless to prevent them careening off the road and into the tree. It was lucky they all survived, he observed. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-12-21 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

But if the vehicle "had been nothing but trouble, recently wobbling all over the road and handling unpredictably", he shouldn't really have driven it at all, or at least at not at any speed.

bangon04 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 "Asan said that he had been on his way to trade in the Isuzu for a newer model at a dealership." but maybe the trade-in value is slightly reduced now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wet road mentioned but the front driver seat was a tad damp, no skid marks mentioned either, I bet they were present too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
