Tour bus rams three parked cars in Phuket
Eakkapop Thongtub

The BMW, tangled into the side of the bus, received more damage to the front when it hit other cars.

PHUKET: A bus with 20 Chinese tourists on board crashed into three cars parked along Thepkasattri Rd, just north of the Heroines Monument, last night (August 15) at about 10.45pm. No one was hurt.

The bus, from Bamboo Travel, first hit a BMW, which became tangled with the bus. The driver, Rewat Thaweewat, 44, from Ranong, carried on, dragging the BMW with him before hitting the back of a white Mitsubishi and scraping along the side of a bronze Isuzu pickup truck.

The bus driver told police he was taking his passengers back to their hotel, the Supalai at Ao Por, when a car came up on the right side, traveling fast. He swerved left to avoid being hit by it and, instead, rammed the parked cars.

"It was the swerving car's fault officer.... I wasn't napping, honest!"

No great accomplishment. Parked cars are relatively easy to hit

'rams' sounds so much more exciting than 'collides with'.

Little bit of intent?

Lucky no one was hit by all the filler flying off as it was dragged along.

And the 3 owners of the parked cars get a ticket for parking in the wrong spot

So the other car was on the wrong side of the traffic island driving towards oncoming vehicles?
