“There were smears of fruit everywhere on the road. It took rescue workers and police officers about an hour to clear it all up,” said Lt Kraisorn Boonprasop of the Thalang Police.

Let me guess. ....... The vehicle was so full the driver could not control it, seems that the steering was a little lighter than he expected?

It's fun to go to Google Images and search for overloaded Thai pickup.

Beavis and Butthead do Thailand.

Woar, these guys got some really good clean-up skills if they cleaned up the mess within just one hour. Does that include removing the wrecked pickup truck from the road?

Somebody get these headline writers a dictionary!

Is this what Thai's call a 'fruit machine?"

Let me guess. ....... The vehicle was so full the driver could not control it, seems that the steering was a little lighter than he expected?

And the driver of the vehicle is still being looked for. Gone like the wind.
