snoop1130 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 A fatal car accident in Thailand was unexpectedly broadcasted live when a pickup driver was livestreaming his journey on April 30. The driver's identity has not yet been disclosed. He lost control of his vehicle when a tire suddenly burst, resulting in his death at the crash site. The man was not wearing a seatbelt at the time. Footage from the livestream revealed that he was singing and appeared drowsy moments before the accident. His unsuccessful struggle to regain control was caught on camera, displaying the collision with a roadside, his items getting scattered, and the eventual stop of the vehicle at a lamppost. The authorities were alerted to the crash by a friend who had been watching the live video. Despite this, they couldn't save the driver. The online video was widely shared, with many expressing mourns for him and his family, while others used the incident to emphasize the importance of safety in driving. Remembering a near-death experience, one user noted they had survived a similar incident due to wearing a seatbelt. Despite a recent law enforcement in Thailand that orders seatbelt use for all vehicle occupants, with a fine of up to 2,000 baht for non-compliance, a lot of locals opt to ignore it. In September last year, another crash underscored the importance of seatbelts and child car seats. In this case, a truck collided with a sedan, and a nine-month-old baby was ejected out of the car's windshield as there was no child car seat. Fortunately, the baby survived the incident.

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted May 2 Popular Post Share Posted May 2 There was a time when people looked at the street and concentrated on driving. It seems that is not in fashion anymore. I wrote this after I watched his video. RIP 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post still kicking Posted May 2 Popular Post Share Posted May 2 I driven in Germany had a burst tyre at 160 km per hour on the Autobahn I am still alive. 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post soi3eddie Posted May 2 Popular Post Share Posted May 2 I was going by the video where it appeared that he hit something in the road. "The tyre suddenly burst" statement is impossible to verify. More likely, the deflated rear tyre was part of the wreck. I've driven about 2 million miles in my driving career. Never had a tyre "suddenly burst". Especially these days with modern tyre construction. When seeing a truck with a burst tyre, they are normally shredded. The tyres on the truck are not shredded. 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampant Rabbit Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) looks like the typical 1 second attention span I notice regularly here. Wonder what pressure the tyres were at? as looks like an overloaded type delivery pick up with the stainless steel accoutrements.

Popular Post Enoon Posted May 2 Popular Post Share Posted May 2 (edited) If he had been wearing a seatbelt we would still have been watching a video of him. The difference being that we would have been seeing a demonstration of how seatbelts save your life. But they're too ******* clever for that aren't they? Not like us silly westerners.......only good for smirking at when we buckle up. "Som nam na". Edited May 2 by Enoon 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 44 degrees heat, truck overloaded, worn out tyre or not properly inflated, anything can happened to a tyre... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Ive had two burst (both fronts, separate occasions) on the 7 motorway, fairly routine to slow down and pull over safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khyron Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I've seen it a few times, too broke to replace dry rotted, bald, overloaded tires, but not too broke to able to afford the silly truck accoutrements, the "Power bar" bumpers and exhaust delete, that's so much cooler than not having a blowout. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchilli Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 5 hours ago, it is what it is said: i'm sure the family and friends of the victim are overjoyed at his last moments being broadcast on the internet. It was his wish, anyone notice all the red speakers in his cab? Seems he spent all his time singing, looking all over the place except where he was going. Looking at how many time he rolled he wasn't hanging around either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
