Truck Driver Trapped and Burned Alive in Pattaya Lorry Crash

 

 

PATTAYA: -- At 4.30am Nongprue Police Department received reports of a collision between two eighteen-wheel trucks on Route 36 at Banglamung, heading towards Rayong.

 

At the scene fire-fighters tackled a blaze and all three lanes were blocked for sometime.

 

One of the cabs was completely burned out and rescue workers had to use cutting tools to recover the body of the driver. All documents had been incinerated by the blaze and no identification has been possible.

 

However, the lorry is known to belong to the SCG Transport Company, registered in Chonburi.

 

The driver of the second truck, forty-one year old Mr Boonsong Biakratoke, of the Salt Lorry Company, said he was taking a fifty-ton load of salt from Sriracha to Rayong.

That highway 36 again. It scares the life out of me. Was it a cross over or a u turn, as both cabs appear to have collided.?

Don't know

But you can guarantee stupid behavior of one driver or two has gone on.

That's a big fire ,    was it a gas powered truck ?

....driven past several of these slow-moving behemoths...

 

...many of them have inadequate lighting....

stupid behaviour? these guys are 'TRUCK DRIVERS', not academics. if every truck driver on this planet had a phd, none of them would be driving trucks.

have you ever done a 16 hour trip in an overloaded 30 tonner, getting overtaken and out-breaked by ignorant 'small-car-drivers'?

sit next to me one day on a trip from sydney to perth, it's only a few thousand km's...

every nation on this planet would come to a complete economic stand - still without trucks - and drivers.

Doubt if the lighting was at fault or lack of it.

Maybe the popular brake failure BS coming soon ,  to cover up there driving behavior

If you were driving overloaded

That puts you in the incompetent bracket.

 

You are correct,   i don't think you have a Phd.

no and yes. check out truck fatality statistics for oz, on those roads 'that SHOULD be much better'... and still, truck drivers get killed. because they are chasing the $ and they are not capable of doing anything but driving, and they have massive debts on their rigs and a hungry family at home. there is nothing different here other than a s..t emergency support infra structure.

if you are driving overloaded, chances are who ever pays you overloaded you. and your only way out is to quit your 'contract'. see, how you explain that to your wife and your 4 children, waiting at home for you to put some food on the table.

if you do have a phd - (i feel you don't), perhaps you should consider handing it back in again. you know nothing about real life, and even less about life on the road.

My reply was based on your stupidity.

Have a nice day,   in the cab banging your fists on the wheel at other road users

BTW referencing to Perth in Oz on the pattaya forum makes you look  even more silly.

If you are driving 16 hours you are way over the time limit 

As for being overloaded   this is an accident waiting to happen

I was driving heavy vehicles for 32 years in Aus, seen it all and still wonder about some cowboys, both there and here

A group photo around a dead body?

 

Looks like guys coming back from a fishing trip.

A lorry is a truck!

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

This is the second traffic crash fatality/burned alive report I've seen here in as many days...

 

I guess it's not enough anymore to just massacre people on the roads.

 

Now the Thai roadways have to kill and roast them.

Seems very likely. I would not want to be sitting every day in a vehicle powered by tanks of compressed inflammable gas, even if they were properly installed and maintained which may not be the case here.
