A student bus from Srinakharinwirot University, returning from a field trip was involved in a collision, crashing into a 12-wheeled truck carrying pigs, leaving 31 students injured. There were two buses in a convoy returning from the trip to Suan Phueng, Ratchaburi Province, but only one involved in the crash.

 

The accident occurred at 18:45  on Petchkasem Road, heading towards Nakhon Pathom City, opposite the Juvenile and Family Court in Nong Din Daeng, Muang District. According to police reports, the bus was unable to brake in time and collided with the truck.

 

 

Upon receiving the report, Lt. Col. Pichayapim Suttiwong, an investigating officer at Muang Nakhon Pathom Police Station proceeded to the scene with emergency personnel from Nakhon Pathom Suksaranugroh Foundation.

 

The windshield of the bus was smashed and the side entrance doors could not be opened. So the driver had got out and opened the back door to get the injured students out. The force of the impact had thrown many of the students around, inside the bus.

 

Rescue teams quickly transported the injured students, who mostly suffered bruises and minor injuries, to nearby hospitals, with 16 going to Bangkok Hospital, Samranrat  and 15 To Sinphaet Hospital.

 

The driver of the pig truck, who was fully loaded with pigs, said that he had picked up 130 pigs from Ratchaburi, to be delivered to Nakhon Pathom Province. At that time of the collision, there was a long traffic jam. A car cut in front of him, so he braked suddenly. He believed that the bus driving behind him was unable to brake in time, so it crashed into his truck.

 

Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the incident while ensuring the well-being of the affected students.

Didn´t they stop all field trips for students, during a 60 day period while inspecting the buses? Seems like that has same meaning and substance like everything else the government and authorities say.

A whole new meaning to 'bringing home the bacon' 🙄

"The force of the impact had thrown many of the students around, inside the bus."

 

So much for the big song and dance the Govt made several years ago that all buses had to have seat belts fitted.
