Is that the Thai fella stuck there in the grille? Glad they established it was a Fuso brand truck, we wouldn't want to blame an innocent Volvo or Hino truck now would we.

"Is that the Thai fella..."

Good to see the 1st response is from one of the usual suspects finding humour in a Thai's particularly unpleasant death and then finishing with some unnecessary sarcasm. Well done.

"[P]articularly unpleasant[,]"..it's reported he died instantly. We should all be so lucky when our time comes!

When one is given lemons...make lemonade.

Couldn't find the driver - as expected the driver did a runner, in reference to a Phuket's topic about Russians leaving the scene of a fatal accident, I can't see how Thais can call they heartless is running is such a common thing in Thailand, them Thais come as hypocrites.

Also amazing police work - a male between 25 and 35 y.o. - a baby can guess better than that. On top of it I like how they instantly blame the foreigner, they just like doing that, don't they?

A bike was riding in front of a garbage truck and was about to make a turn when was run over? I can only guess of what really happen but I see imbeciles multiple times per day making turns into the sois from a 2nd and sometimes 3rd line, always pisses me off. From the picture showing a guy laying between the 1st and a 2nd line, it's possible that exactly this happened - guy slowed down in front of a truck to make a turn and got run over...

RIP.

The garbage truck driver pulled a runner and no one knows who he is?

I'll have to respectfully disagree. I feel the same way about these stories, yet I qualify those feelings with the overwhelming sense of futility in reacting to any knee-jerk, civil emotions when being subjected to yet another highly probable lunatic event.

Incidentally, there are many forms of humor; not simply one.

Respect

Only the driver? Usually I see several people working these trucks. More than one runner, I suspect. No witnesses? They are doing a route, emptying cans and such... and this happens.

Funny... no witnesses.

No mention of the guys on the back, who empty the cans...

... oh yeah! I forgot... Thais like cruising around in their garbage trucks at 6 in the morning.

Lunatics all!
