snoop1130 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 A school minibus crashed today into the back of a pickup truck, resulting in the vehicle flipping over onto its side and injuring several male and female students. The school minibus crash occurred on Jarod Withi Thong Road, National Highway 12, between Tak-Sukhothai markers 102 and 101, in the Num Reum sub-district of Tak province. Officers from Tak Municipal Police Station promptly responded to the accident alongside the non-profit rescue group Tak Ruam Jai Sangkro Foundation and the local Tak Provincial Administration Organization’s rescue unit. Scene investigators arrived at the distressing school minibus crash scene to find the vehicle, with registration plate NOK 2271 Tak, severely damaged on the front and toppled over. Male and female students injured in the accident were seen crying out in pain and calling for help. Some were trapped in the vehicle while others were flung outside the bus. Prompt first aid was administered to the victims, who were quickly dispatched to Somdet Phrachao Taksin Maharat Hospital. Fourteen students were reportedly injured in the incident, including one female driver, according to KhaoSod.

But, but......the law is that minibuses must have seat belts. I assume from looking at the picture some passengers were ejected through the windshield and probably the driver too.

I'm thinking 14 was probably a few more than the amount the vehicle was designed for. This older Toyota has 3 row of seats that can accommodate 3 adult per row, so 9 adults plus up front the driver and 2 adults. ( note: the middle seat is small ) So 12 occupant is normal. As children are smaller they often fits 4 in the back rows . So 14 is over the safe limit. Not really safe but it is a fact here.

Was that an older Toyota? I doubt it as this does not look like a Toyota model: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
