Following a post by the Facebook page "Mee Dan Ubon Ratchathani," stating, "Carrying too much corn, at the Big Chiwarin Intersection," accompanied by an image of a pickup truck overloaded beyond its limits, resulting in the vehicle splitting in half, reported Daily News. Upon investigation, it was found that the incident occurred on February 12th, as the pickup truck, loaded with crates of fruits, was unable to bear the weight, causing it to split in half at the intersection of Nong Ta Phoan, Warin Chamrap District, Ubon Ratchathani Province. Nevertheless, after the circulation of these images, netizens poured in with various comments such as: Whether to pity or to find it amusing. That load is enough to flip an eighteen-wheeler. Fighting hard for life but life fights back. I think it's about time for a well-deserved break. Been working hard for over 20 years. Found it at the red light just right. Good that no one got hurt, everything's safe. But it's quite pitiful...

Had it happened to you, or anyone else of the AN "community", it would have been a very different "story".

That is a fairly obvious comment to make. Farangs are not allowed to drive pickups for that kind of business, trucks or buses! And western transport is properly policed across the board. Here in Thailand…………..???????? There is plenty of Thai netizen outrage over this incident anyway. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
