Runaway Truck Wheel Falls from Bridge, Knocks Out Retired Thai Army Official
Picture courtesy of ThaiRath. A retired Thai army official was seriously injured yesterday after a freak incident, in which a loose wheel from a pickup truck fell from a bridge and struck him on the head while he was riding a motorcycle beneath it. The incident occurred at approximately 15:00 on 10 April, beneath the Bang Khu Wat Bridge in Pathum Thani province. Police and emergency services were alerted to the scene by local residents who witnessed the dramatic event. Upon arrival, officers from Mueang Pathum Thani Police Station and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation discovered a white Isuzu pickup truck parked on the descending lane of the bridge. The front left wheel was missing, having become detached while the vehicle was in motion. The driver, Mr. Nantawat 49, was unharmed. Roughly 200 metres away, underneath the bridge near a U-turn point, responders found a Honda motorcycle lying undamaged on the roadside. However, its rider had sustained head injuries. He was identified as Lieutenant General Anusorn Pichaironnarongsongkram, 62, a former Director-General of the Army Documentation Department. He had lost consciousness at the scene. His helmet was split, indicating the force of the impact. Paramedics from Pathum Thani Hospital administered first aid and transported him to the hospital for further treatment. Mr. Nantawat recounted the incident to police, explaining that he had been en route to an air-conditioning repair shop when he heard a loud noise from the front of his vehicle while ascending the bridge. The vehicle began to shake, prompting him to steer it carefully to the side. Moments later, a motorcyclist approached to inform him that the missing wheel had fallen from the bridge and struck someone below. Eyewitness Ms. Kanokporn Janpitak, a nearby resident, said: “I was sitting in front of my house and looked up to see the wheel falling from the bridge. It hit the motorcyclist right on the head as he was riding underneath and making a U-turn. The motorcycle toppled over, and the wheel rolled to the side of the road. I ran over and found him unconscious, with his helmet broken. I called 191 immediately to get help.” Police are continuing their investigation into the mechanical failure that caused the wheel to detach, and possible legal charges. -- 2025-04-12 -

Trump Rejects EU’s ‘Zero Tariffs’ Offer, Vows to Erase $350bn Trade Deficit With Energy Sale
There is no way Its a one man Trump show no matter how myopic people here wish to pretend it is, thats not how making new monetary policy going forward is done. You can bet dropping Tariffs on everyone yet within a few days freezing them again is not a mistake but more like adjusting to market pressures, but things are far from over. Markets can be fickle and the bond market tanked along with stocks which is unusual. The US has 6 trillion to roll over this year and badly needs a weaker interest rate and or a weaker dollar.. which btw is happening right now. Will it work ? maybe, maybe not but trying to do something about all the unsustainable debt floating about globally is well overdue. My bet is it will end up being inflated away at the cost of the public facing much higher pricing for everything globally, which has always been the most likely end result of the globalisation experiment. -

Volunteer Security Officer Shot Dead While Tending Durian Orchard in Yala Province
Picture from responders. A volunteer security officer was fatally shot in a suspected ambush while on leave and working in his durian orchard in Bacho village, Bannang Sata district, Yala province. The incident occurred at approximately 09:40 on 11 April. Local police from Bannang Sata Police Station were alerted by the village head of Moo 2, Bacho sub-district, of a shooting involving an unknown number of armed assailants. The attackers opened fire with unidentified automatic weapons, targeting the victim who was applying fertiliser to durian trees on his land. The deceased has been identified as Mr. Marosadee, 49, a senior volunteer with the Bacho District Volunteer Defence Corps. He was reportedly on leave at the time and tending to his family’s durian and rubber plantation when the attack took place. He died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds, primarily to the head. Initial reports suggest the attackers, believed to be at least two individuals, used military-grade firearms in the assault. After the shooting, the suspects allegedly stole Mr. Marosadee’s .38 calibre sidearm before fleeing the scene. Authorities from both the police and district volunteer forces responded swiftly, securing the area and transporting the body to Bannang Sata Hospital for a forensic examination. Police have not yet confirmed a motive and are continuing to gather evidence. They will also interview the victim’s family and close contacts. However, one potential line of investigation points to the ongoing unrest in Thailand’s southern provinces. The situation is particularly sensitive given that Mr. Marosadee’s father was also the victim of a fatal shooting in a similar ambush some years ago. Security has been heightened in the area as police work to determine whether this killing is linked to broader insurgent activity or represents a targeted personal attack. An investigation is ongoing. -- 2025-04-12
