It's almost a daily occurrence on this road, if it is not a truck it's a mini van.

I drove past this scene after the event. it looked to me that there had been slow/stationery traffic ahead and the lorry in the pictures run into the back of a lorry in front. The rescue service was forcing the door open, the aforementioned traffic tail back went on for some 5 kilometers after the scene of this RTC.

edit it was just by Regents school heading towards Rayong

No, last time I looked there was only water to the west! It joins Sukhumvit at Banglamung which is north of North Pattaya and runs several miles north of East Pattaya to Rayong.

I think the opening headline made it pretty clear where it runs, "which runs along the Eastern outskirts of Pattaya".

Or more precisely , it runs from North Pattaya in a South Easterly direction towards Rayong passing the eastern side of the Pattaya outskirts.
