The Nation

Sorry to hear this said news especially ones who are just starting life.... Sad to see they didn't learn from all their schooling that drinking and driving do not mix. Should have taken a taxi... May they RIP.

I read about this elsewhere. What a tragic, grisly, horrifying (to think about what the last few seconds were like) accident.

My Girlfriend has just returned home from one of the funerals (Piyada Mangkhonkriangkrai, also known as Lek). Yes, I'm sorry to say that the alcohol & drive culture in this country appears to have taken 6 more young lives. R.I.P. Lek.

I saw the picture of the car in the paper.....was truely a high speed impact. The car was completely wrapped around the pole, im unable to tell what type it was.

Alcohol, speed and stupidity = DEADLY!

RIP - One can only hope the young friends of these people learn from the tragedy
