webfact Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Picture: Siam Rath Siam Rath reported that a ten wheel truck piled into eight motorcycles and cars waiting to make a U-turn on Route 42 adjacent to Suwan Phaibun School in Yaring district of Pattani, southern Thailand. The truck and another vehicle ended up in and around the central reservation. It happened on Monday afternoon. Picture: Siam Rath Nine injured people were taken to Yaring Hospital one with a serious head injury. Yesterday Pol Capt Sathit Kasetkala of the Yaring police said that all the owners of the eight vehicles had been contacted and there was no truth to the rumor that the trucker had fled the scene as he was forming part of the investigation. Picture: Siam Rath Three vehicles were write-offs and the owner of the truck was sorting out compensation with all those affected. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2023-02-15 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Speedhump Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 How terrible. I guess the vehicles waiting to turn were blocking the right hand lane of the carriageway and the HGV driver didn't even notice that they were stationary? Astonishing that no-one died outright. ???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
