LennyW Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 On the channel 3 news footage there was quite clear skidmarks so she had tried to brake but too late, and yes, at the time the red and white concrete barriers were very close to the end of the road, they were moving them back a bit when it was on the 3 news.

ratcatcher Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 RIP is about that can be said as far as anything getting done nope. Maybe after the REDBULL heir Drives off it and hits YINGLUCK maybe then. Why the reference to Yingluck? I m sure most posters, knowing the Red Bull heir's tale of woe, would not miss a moment's sleep if he did manage to fly a new Ferrari off the tollway, but what's the crude reference to Yingluck got to do with anything and I am no fan of the lady but c'mon, really? Do you wish her dead? Maybe take your head out of the bag and see reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai at Heart Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 On the channel 3 news footage there was quite clear skidmarks so she had tried to brake but too late, and yes, at the time the red and white concrete barriers were very close to the end of the road, they were moving them back a bit when it was on the 3 news. If that is true and I have seen this junction 100s of times I hope someone gets sued for incompetence. If she was on the brakes, there should be enough distance to slow from 100 kmh. Even sadder.

tifino Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 pity there exists no forethought in Thainess thinking - they can only rely upon some fall-back to the power of hindsight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 pity there exists no forethought in Thainess thinking - they can only rely upon some fall-back to the power of hindsight Sadly, I have to agree. Forethought does not seem to part of the Thai psyche. Where I live ( no tourists ) they allowed houses to be built right up to the road edge in the days of motorbikes. Now that many have cars, the congestion is terrible, and no way to widen the road without demolishing hundreds of houses. Still happening, as they just approved a new 7/11 right next to the road- nowhere for cars/ delivery trucks to park except blocking traffic. Even motorbikes are parked in the road.

bander Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) How is it even possible to drive trough all the signs and barriers where they still not have finished the tollway? Here is a link to googlemap where it happened, picture of the "end of the road". https://www.google.co.th/maps/@14.0062975,100.6152002,3a,75y,173.51h,86.85t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sk_CSN1rKAGZD-j7u0jXrKw!2e0?hl=en Edited October 17, 2014 by bander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvr181 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) How is it even possible to drive trough all the signs and barriers where they still not have finished the tollway? This lady achieved it, unfortunately! It should not have happened at all, with proper planning by the roading contractor or authorities.

tim armstrong Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 RIP to her. I don't think this was the first accident in this spot, I seem to remember one about two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpythailand Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYEAcgHltL8#t=1217Airborne Thai PBS has this vid which explains what happened - i went looking on the way home from work and could not see anything from someone driving from downtown to be able to do this - but there did used to be an opening in the cement dividers that you could stop and turn into - but it appears she was coming up the onramp TOWARDS bangkok and there was an opening in the cement wall which she drove thru thenturned right to carry on out the end of thetollway and right down onto Viphawadee below.... yikes - anyway - it's pretty much all there in the vid and with a graphic clip of what happened...still pretty hard to believe but there it is i never saw this opening in the cement as alwasy stepping on the gas getting up the ramp to head to downtown and not looking for a turn into the all but closed off tollway - but there was an opening on both sides it seems and yes you could drive in there and then drive off the end...
