A student transport vehicle suffered a brake failure, lost control and overturned, causing severe injuries at a U-turn on the 201 road. The incident, which took place at 8.15am this morning, was reported by investigating officer Chanarong Krotha from Chum Phae Police Station.

 

The vehicle was transporting students to a local college when it lost control and flipped at a U-turn on the Chum Phae-Phu Khiaw road near Nong Phon Thong village, Chaiyo district, Chum Phae, Khon Kaen province.

 

Upon arriving at the scene, authorities found the six-wheeled Hino student transport vehicle, registration 86-1447 Khon Kaen, on its side with shattered windows. The inside seating area was damaged with scattered belongings. A number of injured students were found nearby.

"Heng explained that the brake failed, and he decided to accelerate and turn the vehicle to avoid blocking the road, which ultimately resulted in the vehicle overturning. The recurring brake issue, despite several repair attempts, finally led to this accident, reported KhaoSod."

 

Leaves me without words.

Brake failure in Thailand usually means they weren't applied or applied too late.

So had he just made that U turn? looks like he accelerated to make the turn to avoid stopping for oncoming traffic and flipped it. IMO

Took the U turn too fast and turned too tight.......me thinks.
