A chaotic scene unfolded on Rama II Road as a six-wheel truck went on a rampage, crashing into over 20 parked vehicles. Locals and police joined forces to chase the vehicle, but the driver did not stop.

 

Yesterday, a video clip circulated online showing a group of motorcyclists pursuing a six-wheel truck that had caused multiple collisions and then fled the scene.

 

 

The footage revealed the truck speeding away while police, locals, and several motorcycle riders attempted to catch up. The incident occurred near a well-known shopping mall on Rama II Road.

The viral video attracted significant attention on social media, with numerous netizens sharing and commenting on the incident. One viewer remarked, “There must be over 20 damaged cars. How will they compensate for this?,” reported KhaoSod.

 

In related news, a Japanese tourist, in a fit of rage from an argument, drove his car into a popular Pattaya restaurant, crashing into numerous cars and motorcycles before finally colliding with a tour bus. This incident on July 10, left him injured and in police custody.

Not much rampaging going on.

Looks like someone being tired  of the slow moving traffic, well done for reducing the taxi ranks  

I do wish they would concentrate on one story instead of stitching together unrelated news stories, the obvious question is did they apprehend the driver of the truck in BKK???

He shouldn't do that. But I am sure he enjoyed that ride.

Sometimes I wish I had a truck just like that. 😉

So, what's the relation to above?

Few new side mirrors needed by the looks of things 

Would have been better in 16:9 format. **sigh** 

Could have dressed the vehicle up a bit for the movie... Battle truck seems applicable.  Wonder if they've finally caught the driver?

I was surprised by the guy actually looking behind before changing lanes... wise move.   Next buy a helmet! 

That's right. It was all the truck's fault!

Jüst one of thousands of unhinged drivers on the roads....

I guess females shouting "Oy" and the beeping of horns does not curtail road rampage.

Only in Thailand

So how did the police lose this guy? Onje on a motorcycle was following him then gave up it seemed. One would think the bike could catch up to him faster than any car. and while the police is following him set up a roadblock or something. This guy was nuts and could have seriously hurt someone.

It didn't say that they lost him.
