Picture from responders.

 

A fruit vendor was killed and three others, including a two-year-old child, were injured in Patum Thani, when a speeding pickup truck suffered a tyre blowout and lost control, leading to a fatal collision.

 

At approximately 10:00 on September 18, Pol. Lt. Col. Watcharapong Thianpratham, investigator at Sam Khok Police Station, was notified of a collision involving two pickup trucks on Ban Khlong Sa Road, Moo 2, Khlong Khwai Subdistrict, Sam Khok District, Patum Thani Province. Emergency services, along with a volunteer medical team from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation, rushed to the scene.

 

 

The crash site, located near a rice field, revealed a bronze Toyota pickup truck used as a mobile fruit vendor, registered in Ayutthaya. Inside the vehicle, authorities discovered the body of Ms. Suntaree (surname withheld), aged 52. The other vehicle, a bronze Isuzu pickup truck with a canvas cover, registered in Khon Kaen, was found with three injured occupants: Mr. Phairoj (surname withheld), aged 21, Ms. Kanyarat (surname withheld), aged 20, and a two-year-old girl, Chattranapa. All were transported to Krung Siam St. Carlos Hospital for treatment.

 

Pol. Lt. Col. Watcharapong explained that the fruit vendor had been driving alone on the Wat Pa Puritat Road, heading towards Lat Lum Kaeo, when the oncoming Isuzu truck, traveling in the opposite lane, experienced a blowout in its left rear tyre. The Isuzu driver lost control, swerving into the opposite lane and colliding with the fruit vendor’s truck, causing it to plunge into a nearby rice field, resulting in the fatality and injuries.

 

The police have documented the scene as evidence and plan to summon the driver of the Isuzu truck and any witnesses for further questioning as part of the investigation into the cause of the collision.

has blowout ?

 

even the press make stories up to avert blame

 

if indeed you had a blowout which I very much doubt - it is still your ##Ing fault not the tyre, you are responsible for making sure your vehicle is roadworthy

Exactly! There is never a possibility to blame a person. Only to make up excuses, where a dead thing is to blame. Adding to this, if the driver had not been speeding. Just maybe, he could have remained in control and had time to swirl as well as hit the brakes.

Speeding wrong, but tires can get a puncture while travelling, and overheat, causing a blowout. just saying.

Also a rear tire causing you to lose control.  Have been in the same situation(sort of) - the bolts sheared off, rear righthand tire passed me on the road.  A competent driver should still be able to control the car if a rear wheel/tire is lost.  I wonder what speed he was going?

"...it is still your ##Ing fault not the tyre..."

Is it also the drivers "fcking fault" if debris on the road causes a blowout?

Where was it reported that they were speeding?

Pity that you didn't "just say" that there was no report of anyone speeding.

Yes, amazing that I missed that, may be due to the new specs, my deepest apologies to all for my one-in-a-million oversight.

You are too quick to constantly jump on everybody's back, your old specs were no better.

That's just your manky opinion.

Always (nearly) the speed.

The speed is the main vector to accidents.

The one who is going to fast, is the one to blame, regardless of the circumstances.

Rain, blowout, dog crossing the street, you name it...

The problem is the speed....

No, just an observation.  I've already posted my apologies but you seem to want to drag out my initial misreading ad infinitum!

Impossible to misread that! You just didn´t care, and put your quick fingers on the keyboard.

Over here, tyres are mostly OVERinflated, leading to more possibility of a blow-out.

If a driver loses control from a rear tyre they shouldn't be behind the wheel.

Key word..  speeding ....

  mentions from other posts   ....  competent driver 

and even if there was a ton of debris on the road.   if you are paying attention ( and not speeding/playing with your phone intoxicated.   you have a chance of avoiding it

blaming a tire blowout is a cop out !

I've had a front tire blow out on my Toyota Fortuner on the highway at 120kmh. (265/50 R20)

 

Even thou the steering was quite  heavy on the direction of the blown tire, it was totally doable and not that hard to control. Any person could do it, unless you have absolutely no muscles in the arms, or if the person had the hands occupied. 

 

I dont understand why there are so many accidents from tire blown out.

My comment was a response to to a 100% speculative post.  Where was it reported that the pickup was kept in an unroadworthy condition by the driver, as Smedley intimated?
