Crash on Motorway 7: Woman Killed After Car Collides with Truck & is Then Run Over by Van

[Georgealbert]

 

 

 

The incident occurred at approximately 05.30 October 1, on motorway 7, in front of the 7-Eleven distribution centre, when a car rear-ended an 18-wheeler truck, leading to the death of the driver.

 

Emergency services were alerted to the scene, where the sedan had collided with the back of the truck. The force and speed of the crash had rolled the car over and caused the female driver to be ejected from the vehicle and onto the roadway. 

Moments later, a van following closely behind when the collision occurred was unable to avoid the driver and ran over the top of the victim, leaving her dead at the scene from multiple injuries. That section of the motorway section had to be temporary closed for the cleanup of the scene and removal of the vehicle.

 

Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash and the identity of the victim have not yet been released.

From reading the report she was not wearing a seat belt and was probably driving while sleeping or texting.  The van that hit her was undoubtedly tailgating.

 

Every part of this accident could have been avoided with proper driver education & traffic law enforcement. 😟

Yup, a perfect example of the completely lunatic behavior played out on Thai streets daily.

To me it stands totally clear that the woman driving the sedan is at 100% fault, as she must have been driving too close to the 18 wheeler to be able to break or react. That will always make the one who rear-ends another truck/car the responsible part at fault. That the van must have been tailgating is not necessary true. The woman was ejected from the car, which might mean she landed where the van driver was driving. That can mean another lane or exactly where the van driver tried to drive to avoid hitting the car unaware of the ejected woman.
