Daily News Caption: 4 hurt in head on collision

 

Daily News reported on an accident in the rain in Trat, eastern Thailand.

 

A mother and child were travelling home in a pick-up when they skidded and spun and collided head on with another pick-up coming in the opposite direction.

 

Pol Capt Bunma Thathong of the Muang Trat police got a report about the accident at a bend near Wat Wiwek Wararam on Sukhumvit Road in Noen Sai sub-district.

 

At the scene was an Isuzu with severe damage to its front. The male driver and a female passenger were injured.

 

The other vehicle was a Ford Ranger that ended up in water by the roadside.

 

A mother and child were injured in that vehicle. All were taken to a nearby hospital.

 

Locals who saw what happened said the Ford was going in the direction of Klong Yai in heavy rain.

It was a very brief shower however.

 

Their vehicle lost control at a bend and crossed lanes into the path of the oncoming Isuzu.

They said it was a blackspot for accidents in the rain just like this one or when cars simply spin off the road.

The 'vehicle' did not lose control, the dimwit driver lost control on one of those dam bends AGAIN drivers here are just plain hopeless. 

Thai brain;

 

Was the car, not me !

 

 

in my opinion, at the sight of the car wrecks,  one the drivers - or maybe both- thought he/she was lewis hamilton or michael schumacher

Driver did not lose control..... Typical Thai driver too lazy to stay in their own lane when turning or going around a curve in the road. Happens all the time, they cannot stay in their own lane.

oh come on - it was the rain - the road - the bend - the tyres................nothing to do with the wingnut driving 

In a country of adolescents, driving should not be allowed.

Yeah, but I bet they didn't say that while the were driving along the pavement or up the wrong side of the road.

 

Or tailgating an inch from the bumper at 120km/h
