Goes back to the days where bus drivers had to open the screen over their engine to show that "my engine is bigger than yours" = Stuff the fact that someone could get caught up in the rotating belts === IDIOTS Som Non Nah - there is a Budda! What? It's not the drivers fault. The metal cover wasn't strong enough.. Or was positioned poorly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it wasn't backfilled properly or not backfilled at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four squares covering a giant hole with no support in the middle. If we had rectangular pieces covering the hole that makes sense, but squares that meet in the middle with no support underneath?. How does that work? Paper clips but one of them broke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly bribe to allow truck to be heavier than legally allowed could be considered driver's fault. Below is screenshot of Thai discussion on it...

DJ54 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 and my guess is the truck was over the weight limit… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobU Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Second incident of this type this week. Overloaded truck or not the concrete slab should not have collapsed. Very poor roadbuilding again. Fortunately no one has been killed in either incident. It seems like the higways authority has a lot to answer for what with electrocuting and killing citizens on a regular basis and badly made collapsing concrete covers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the pictures, the concrete did not in any way collapse. After they pulled the truck out they put the panels right back, intact. They did dislodge yes, but the concrete held. It still shouldn't have happened, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed the concrete panels were easily dislodged i.e. they collapsed they did not break. Thus the weight of the vehicle is irrelevant. No central support to prevent slippage.

bristolgeoff Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 The truck was to heavy should have known that but he thought he is ok going over it.End result is they for all to see,in a uk city or many small roads or streets.
