BANGKOK: -- Two men were burned to death when the Toyota Yaris they were in slammed into the back of a 10-wheeler truck and caught on fire last night.

Chadchawan Kamthorn, 24, and Sakchai Hongtong, 38, were found completely burned in the front seats while a passenger in the back, Adithep Karnnok, survived after he was pulled from the flaming Yaris by a noble citizen before it was engulfed in flame. Adithep is recovering at a hospital.

According witnesses, the Yaris was speeding up an overpass over the Bang Na-Trat Road when it lost control and rear ended the semi truck. The truck reportedly drove away, possibly unaware of the accident.

Dying I do not fear ,however the way of dying I do fear and these tragic deaths are to my mind one of the worst ways to go.Not enough time to be asphyxiated to relieve the pain .

"Shattered beer bottles were found in the car, leading police to believe the men might have been drinking," Khaosod reported.

Superb conclusion to an unnecessary tragedy.

Best wishes to Adithep the survivor.

..and good on the guy who pulled him from the car. Heroic.

I encounter a dozen careless drivers every day who give no braking room. Surprised this is not a daily news item.

As you know, the idea of leaving a safe distance between moving vehicles, is somewhat alien here, as the safe space between you and the car ahead is viewed by many drivers as an opportunity to slip in and move ahead of you.

I witnessed this once. It was a couple of decades ago yet I can still hear their screams. You wouldn't wish it upon your worst enemy.

Drink and driving do not go together.

Feel sorry for the dead, but they decided their own destiny.

Cold!!

Would you say 'cold' if a drunk driver killed a family member of yours or a close friend ?

I doubt it.. Karma strikes again

Two people burned alive under horrific circumstances. We don't know if the driver was drunk or not!!

So my point was, a little empathy was in place. Not a "don't drink and drive" campaign.

Yup, you are probably right. Those broken beer bottles had been collected to recycle and they were on their way to sell them.

No empathy from me with this one, sorry... Road rules need enforcement in this country and until that happens, Somchai and his mates will continue to die in horrific circumstances.

They were driving back from a night out. Broken beer bottles found in the car. .?

No I don't know everything but I can have a pretty good guess given the circumstances and result.

Just glad no other people were injured or worse.

Oh, yeah, I know that only too well. Very frustrating trying to keep proper distance.

Come on Carlos the Corn, tell me why EMPTY bottles explode.

Full bottles containing gaseous contents explode under heat.... not empty ones - THEY MELT.. THEY DO NOT EXPLODE!!

Oh! I see! They were playing throw the empty beer bottle against the window one.... thaaaat's it!

Get a grip... Carlos... you have no idea what happened.... but your assumption about them being drunk is totally UNWARRANTED.

Regardless of whether they were drunk or not they were driving recklessly enough to plough into the back of a truck and cause two fatalities. Cut and dried, no explanations needed.

Rather than be shocked at the road toll in Thailand I am actually surprised it is not much higher, after clocking up close to 100,000 km in my trusty Isuzu in the last nine years. A lot of the drivers I encounter really seem to be unaware that they may be killed overtaking on blind corners and hills, driving drunk and speeding etc.

In saying that I think it is even more scary being on the roads in China or Vietnam.

What does any of that have to do with someone SPEEDING ONTO the highway and loosing control of their vehicle? That's right, absolutely nothing.
