PHUKET: -- At least 10 people including Chinese tourists have been taken to hospital after a tour bus, a pickup truck and a motorbike collided on Patong Hill last night (Oct 5).

 

Patong Police arrived at the scene with Kusoldharm rescue workers at 10:30pm to find a damaged MKR Transport tour bus crashed into the bushes by the side of the road.

 

In the middle of the road was a demolished Nissan pickup truck fitted with “box-on-back” container.

 

Under the debris spilled from the container was the wreckage of a Honda Click motorbike.

 

Three people from the pickup truck, the motorbike driver and six people from the bus were treated at Patong Hospital, according to a patient list posted there.

Nasty looking road accident ...

Yes indeed, so much so at first sight I thought it was a transformer.

...again.....

 

...bloody insane.....

 

...and oh yes...of course...nobody to blame.....

The Chinese are sure involved in a lot of nasty stuff here. Is it them or there are so many here that I could be blown away by the statistics.

Should have added, maybe the 'no baht' travel arrangements.

There are literally hundreds of buses on the roads at any time and given the quality of the drivers of the vehicles on the roads here, all of these accidents are a foregone conclusion.  Blame it on the rain, ghosts, faulty brakes, or any other excuse that pops us, but it's never a drivers fault if you ask the drivers.
