Two Burmese workers killed and 13 others injured in road accident

 

 

KAMPAENG PHET: -- Two Burmese migrant workers were killed and 13 others were injured, three of them in serious condition, when a passenger van in which they were riding slammed into the rear of a trailer truck in Kampaeng Phet province before dawn on Sunday.

 

The passenger van carried 13 Burmese migrant workers from Pathum Thani to be sent to Mae Sot district of Tak. As the van was travelling on Pahonyothin road in Tambon Nakhon Chum, Muang district of Kampaeng Phet, the driver, identified as Chartchai Phupanee, 49, for unknown reason, slammed the vehicle into the rear of a trailer truck.

 

The van then lost control and crashed into a roadside tree. Two female passengers were thrown out of the van by the force of the collision impact and died.

 

The rest of the passengers, including the driver and his wife, were injured. All of them were later taken to Kampaeng Phet provincial hospital for medical treatment.

R.I.P. to the 2 deceased.

And almost daily event in la la land and nothing ever done. In a country where history is either ignored or dismissed, there will never be hope of improvement.

It's merely a footnote.No chapter,paragraph or even a sentence here.It is buried on page 13,206 of "Sanook,Sabai" the ever growing great cultural fantasy novel of the region.

Those pesky vans again! Nothing to do with the driver of course.

Bad...bad van.

There were three - THREE - accidents on Sunday within half a kilometre on a road near my house. On a long straight road. The driving here is just unbelievable. Brother-in-law on a bike was hit by a car overtaking a lorry without the driver checking to see if it was safe. He lost two bone parts in his leg which they are going to replace with plastic bone. Ironically he had been called by a friend to observe the first accident.

There have been 2 nasty accidents and one particularly gruesome murder of a mendicant monk where I live over the weekend.I expect none of the incidents to make the national news.I drive past the spot where the poor monk met his end every time I drive to the 7-11.

not sure if the van driver was speeding but it certainly would contribute to the accident

these trailer trucks are a menace on the roads they travel at a ridiciously low speed

even if the van was doing normal speed the driver would have been caught out

So in a country that has very slow moving trucks coming up to one would be a surprise.

I don't drive that much over here, apart from in-town on my bike. But I did drive the best part of a million kilometers in the UK. I always found that when driving on bendy hilly roads it was batterer to slow down when approaching a blind bend.
