rooster59 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Phuket Bus flips and crashes in Krabi Kritsada Mueanhawong PHUKET: A bus headed from Phuket to Trang flipped on its side and crashed into a power pole in Krabi last night, injuring the driver and 22 passengers on board. The crash took place on Petch Kasem Road in the Baan Klang sub-district. Capt Suwit Kaewpreecha of Ao Luek Police received the report about 8:30pm. “It happened on a straight road with no turns, but some part of it is under construction. When we arrived, we saw the pink and white colored bus lying on its side in a small watery ditch. It was badly damaged as it had also hit an electric pole – people were struggling to find their way out of it and were crying in pain,” said the captain.

BigBadGeordie Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 S44 clearly need here, all pink and white buses must be taken off the road asap. Also in revieviewing the New Year death toll, motorcyles must be banned, also travelling between 16:00 and 20:00 hrs. As for speeding, drink/driving and no licence issues, they are clearly a matter for the next government to deal with (ignore). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George FmplesdaCosteedback Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 This happened on a straight dry road, maybe an hour into the journey, so what made the bus hit an electric pole and roll into a ditch? The myth that the headline exacerbates is that the vehicle itself somehow "flips over" and courses the crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
