Picture from responders.

 

An incident occurred during heavy rainfall, causing a pickup truck driver to lose control and crash into a house in Ngao District. Fortunately, no one was home at the time.

 

In early morning of September 19, at approximately 02:00, officers from the Ngao Police Station in Lampang Province were alerted to an accident where a pickup truck had skidded off the road and crashed into a house in Ban Pong, Ban Pong Subdistrict, Ngao District. Upon receiving the report, local rescue teams rushed to the scene to assist.

 

 

At the crash site, authorities found a severely damaged bronze-colored pickup truck flipped on its side, having collided with a roadside home. The impact caused the house to collapse completely. The driver, identified as 30-year-old Mr. Aisawan Khananam from Ngao District, sustained injuries and was immediately transported to Ngao Hospital for treatment.

 

Preliminary investigations revealed that Mr. Aisawan was returning home from work in Ban Pong Tao, Ngao District, when he lost control of the vehicle due to slippery conditions caused by earlier rain. The truck veered off the road and slammed into the house, which luckily was unoccupied at the time.

 

The incident is still under investigation.

Probably he was not speeding as the house is totally destroyed... Slippery roads are the cause of this damage,  not the driving skills

What a stupid place to put a house…. Within 500m of a road….  
…. I mean, what were they thinking ? Haven’t the house owners ever seen the driving here ???? 🤔

You just never know when bad luck comes knocking at your door.

What are slippery road conditions? Never seen or heard of them outside of Thailand

So you have never heard of driving in a manner that road conditions will SAFELY allow?

 

Sadly Thai driving standards are so low that they firmly believe that the only way forward is with the peddle firmly pressed to the floor  and when something goes wrong the only way to stop the vehicle is by hitting the nearest obstacle.

 

The one shred of daylight in this is that at long last the reporter acknowledged and stated that the DRIVER lost control of the car

possibly you are not a driver, or may be not a very good driver. driving appropriate to the conditions is a basic driving skill. if a driver is unable to control their vehicle it is likely they are not driving appropriate to the conditions.

Probably a typical Thai pickup, driving on those hard compound, cheap tyres, having travelled over 100k km's. 

These tyres are dangerous in wet conditions.

You speak for yourself, as I got  proper  driving education in the Western world with a proper examination and I am driving for more than almost 50 years, and in my country this kind of accidents never happen, but there is also a good working policeforce and fines for following the traffic rules are huge.. Compared to Thailand were nobody got any education to drive as braking and watching a video while they can play on the cellphone and don't watch.

How many drivers here have ever heard of aqua planing?? How many driver in Thailand adjust their speed to  weather conditions?  How many drivers have had any driving instructions?? I am  a Western and It took almost a year to get a driver license,as you need experience and study for it... So I know very well how to drive and how to act on weather consitions and traffic situations as in Thailand nobody knows anything about it and if in my country the policeforce and laws for not behaving as being taught will cost you dearly... not a 500 THB but hundreds or euros .. using a cellphone in your hand will cost you 460 euro and speeding 10 km above the allowed speed 125 euro.... just to say

Chatting on Line probably very exciting. Or Brake failure and unexpected wet road in rain season. Blame the government for it 🤣

Blame anything but themselves seems to be the norm in Thailand.
