webfact Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 In a tragic incident in Nonthaburi, a collision involving a sedan, a pickup truck, and a trailer with 18 wheels lacking brakes resulted in the loss of life of a 35-year-old female architect. The accident occurred on the inbound lane of the Kanchanaphisek Road, just before the Rama 5 Roundabout in Bang Khu Wat, Bang Kruai district. On January 10, 67, at 4:00 PM, officers from the Bang Kruai Police Station, Nonthaburi, along with rescue personnel from the Pote Tek Tung Foundation, responded to reports of a multi-vehicle accident, reported 77kaoded. The 18-wheeler trailer, a Hino with license plate 79-2267 Bangkok, collided forcefully with the rear of a white Subaru sedan, license plate DTM 729 Bangkok, driven by Ms. Benchama Phanomrueang, a 35-year-old architect from a renowned construction company. Picture: 77kaoded The impact caused a chain reaction, involving six damaged vehicles, including sedans and pickups, and resulted in two male injuries. The accident led to a closure of two inbound lanes, causing significant traffic congestion for several hours. Concurrently, a vigilant citizen's dashcam captured footage of the 18-wheeler trailer slamming into the sedan's rear. According to the 33-year-old trailer driver, Mr. Anan Donko, while driving, he noticed a braking issue in the front vehicle and attempted to brake, but the heavy load prevented him from stopping. This resulted in a powerful collision with the Subaru sedan, causing further damage to nearby vehicles. Picture: 77kaoded Law enforcement officials stated that preliminary investigations involved recording statements from the trailer driver and other victims. However, further inquiries, including additional statements from the trailer driver and a review of CCTV footage in the vicinity, are necessary. The deceased victim's body has been handed over to the forensic science institute for further examination.

Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted January 11 Popular Post Share Posted January 11 Are there any laws in Thailand to ensure safe and proper maintenance of vehicles. Not that that would make any difference of course, unless it suited the authorities to enforce that law. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kingkenny Posted January 11 Popular Post Share Posted January 11 when he says he noticed a braking issue in the front vehicle, I assume he means the car in front braked. His issues stem from driving too fast to stop safely, no brake issues in his truck other than he left himself no time to stop. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETERTHEEATER Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I suggest this was not a 'trailer' with 18 wheels but a truck/trailer combination i.e. a 10 wheel truck towing an 8 wheel trailer. The driver was not driving the trailer but driving the truck. The braking issue of the front vehicle was actually the truck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah ,just incompetent driver not knowing if his Vehicle is road worthy. Quite likely both. That said, what rights have drivers to refuse to take out an unroadworthy truck ???.... I'd imagine they'd be fired on the spot and when every other company (bar a few who follow international standards) treat their drivers in the very same manner.... Only when the owners and senior management of such companies are held fully accountable will these 'way too frequent' brake failure (maintenance & driver failure) incidents be reduced to levels which are less obviously negligence and in many cases criminal negligence.

FruitPudding Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 "He noticed a braking issue" Nothing gets past this guy, I can see. So, he noticed the car in front indeed has brakes and used them, but he was driving inches away, tailgating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Safety attitude in Thailand seems to be, Oh it is still working a bit, so we will fix it later. Accidents because of brake failure has happened for years and years. It is time for an attitude change, or nothing will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A driver has the rights to refuse to drive a Unroadworthy vehicle. Saying this some bosses don't take kindly to this and it which could lead to dismissal. I have never been sacked for refusing to drive an unroadworthy truck.Only the boss said go fix it. A driver is responsible for the vehicle when driving so the Law states in Australia.
