Smiley Face Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Is anyone else confused? Was this a car and a pickup, or was it two pickups? Or was it a car and two pickups? Or was it just poor journalism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it just poor journalism? As I understood, two pickups. Understandable confusion from PBS. I think most can figure it out. Initial police report said that one of the pickup-truck driven by Mr Wichai Suwan, an assistant village head in Village 6, Tambon Thungthong, Saithongwattana district of Kamphaeng Phet, jumped the lane and collided headon with an incoming car from the opposite direction which was driven by 22-year old Mr Cholathee Yooyong.

It's not that confusing if you interchange the word 'car' with 'vehicle' - a pickup is a type of vehicle, therefore, for the purposes of this article, a pickup is also a type of car.
