webfact Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Picture: Siam Rath Muang Singburi police in central Thailand were called along with rescue services after a Toyota van hit a lamppost head on, reported Siam Rath. It happened inbound in Muang Moo sub-district to the south of Singburi. Eleven people were injured and taken to hospital - 5 women and 6 men - including the driver Wanchalerm Nantikaew from Chiang Rai, aged 32. At the hospital police interviewed the passengers. One called Warunee, 35, said that they were all from the Chiang Rai area and 25 people were in three rented vans. They had just been to register as online sellers of lottery tickets in Bangkok and were on their way back north. She was in the crashed van and said that the driver had a seizure of some kind and simply lost control and drove off the road into the lamppost. The driver and all the passengers were from the same housing estate. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-12-22 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

swm59nj Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Maybe the driver actually had a medical episode. The witness said the driver appeared to have a seizure. If the vehicle went off the road It would either coast to a stop or have to hit an object to stop it. Luckily no one was killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieroaming Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I wonder if he has a history of seizures. Probably shouldn't be behind the wheel at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think this could be done initially online backed up via hard copies of documents sent via post. Or at least have regional offices so people don't have to travel huge distances for such a minor thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
