Tragic Collision in Nakhon Ratchasima: Truck Brake Failure Kills One

[snoop1130]

 

In an unfortunate event early today, a severe road collision occurred on Route 24, Chokchai-Det Udom Road, in the Nong Bunnak subdistrict of Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. Around 7:19 am, a cassava-laden truck from Bangkok experienced brake failure, leading to a tragic accident involving multiple vehicles.

 

The incident sadly resulted in the death of 55-year-old Thanakrit, a resident of Buriram, whose pickup truck was crushed under the overturned cassava truck. Three others sustained injuries and were swiftly taken to Nong Bunnak Hospital, thanks to prompt action by local rescue services.

 

 

Police investigations suggest that the ill-fated truck lost control due to brake failure, colliding first with an unidentified 10-wheel truck, and subsequently overturning onto the pickup carrying a Khon Kaen license plate. The chaotic scene involved all vehicles travelling towards Chokchai district from Nong Ki district.

 

The driver of the overturned truck has openly admitted to losing control after brake failure, leading to the cascade of events that resulted in this grievous mishap. As rescue teams work to clear the scene, the incident highlights the pressing need for stringent vehicle safety checks to prevent such tragic occurrences on Thailand's busy roads, reported The Thaiger.

So no slippery roads this time? No driver's nap, no Line messages?

Do the Police ever check the brakes to see if they are working or not or

just take the drivers word for the cause of the accident , I have been

driving all kinds of vehicle's for over 60 years , never had brake failure,

but driven plenty with dodgy brakes .... 

 

I think the driver meant to say brain failure , must likely driving to close

to vehicle in front and could not stop.

Yes brakes fail to stop a vehicle driving at high speed with little distance between it and the object. More accurate to say this than just fail.

What speed was he driving at?

All vehicles in the world with bad brakes are exported to LOS.
That is the reason so many accidents happen because of bad brakes

Are there never investigations after an accident about what really happened? I never see anything about that in the media.

Brake failure or failure to brake ?

There is a difference

[lordgrinz]
