Also that is a pretty old Merc - looks like a W123 so over 30 years old; unlikely that would get over 120kmh.

? Where you have that idea from?
Why should the motor have degraded that much.
W123, one of the best Merc ever built, lasting decades and half million km.
Even a E230 still makes 180 or more.
Watch respecting videos.

Read my earlier reply. The speed limit on this road is 120km/h. An 35+ year old W123 Merc would not be exceeding that. And the article clearly states that after the Merc rear ended a van it was then smashed in to by a following Toyota.

Why is reading the article too much for so many posters here? Comment without reading, I don't get it.
 

You really think so. Ok it is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

According to the van’s driver, Mr. Wanchalerm (surname withheld), 30, he was driving his family back from Bang Saen Beach, traveling in the left lane towards Bangkok, ( possibly didn't see the Benz driver flashing his lights for him to get out of his way ) when the Benz suddenly crashed into the back of his van, ( possibly, because he was speeding like a freakin demon and weaving in and out of traffic ) lost control, and hit a barrier before overturning. Shortly afterward, the Toyota sedan ( possibly  because the driver was tailgating and also had their nose burried in a phone screen ) collided with the wrecked Benz.
