On September 5th, CCTV footage captured a dramatic accident involving a 6-wheel truck veering off its lane, smashing into the rear of a trailer before swerving and hitting a van transporting employees. The incident resulted in multiple injuries.

 

The footage shows that the accident occurred on September 4th at 10:40 pm near the entrance of an elevated bridge leading to Nakhon Ratchasima, close to the Adisorn military camp swimming pool on Phaholyothin Road, heading towards Bangkok, reported Siam Rath.

A white 6-wheel truck, bearing a license plate from Chonburi and transporting goods for a particular logistics company, lost control and initiated the catastrophic sequence.

 

Following the initial collision, the truck crashed into a van headed to Nong Khae. The collision caused significant damage to the van, injuring eight passengers.

Two of them were trapped inside, desperately calling for help but unable to get out. Rescue officials promptly intervened, using equipment to extract the injured and urgently transporting them to Saraburi Hospital.

 

Tragically, the 40-year-old van driver, identified only as Mr. Thanadech, succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead, likely due to the severity of his wounds.

Simply, lack of training and education, Sure <deleted> happens everywhere but here you can generalize pretty well as to the problem.  You can't take you education on a motorbike which is a weapon then progress to cars even worse Truck and buses without knowing the handling isn't going to be the same. With Tons of steel like a Nuclear Weapon you can't just stop on a dime.
