CHONBURI/PATTAYA: -- A motorcyclist escaped death after a collision with an 18 wheel truck that crossed the central reservation in wet conditions in Na Pa district of Chonburi on Sunday.

 

Pictures posted to Facebook by Jojoe Shilinney showed the bike cut in two and the Maersk truck embedded in a shop front after the accident in front of the local municipal offices.

 

Foundation medics on the scene told TNews that both the rider of the bike and the driver of a pick-up survived and were taken to hospital.

I would say unlucky motorcyclist, but I'm a glass half empty guy! ?

[finnomick]

Power lines, metal container and wet conditions. I don't envy the recovery crews.

 

[Kinnock]

Doesn't "spliced" mean joined together?

 

On a related subject, I asked my long haired dictionary "what do you call an 18 wheel truck in Thai", the answer was refreshingly simple!

[KhunBENQ]

Very lucky (assuming the bike rider will not come out paralyzed).

I you have seen that you would surely assume that the victim is dead.

Na Pa is not a district, it is a sub-district of Meuang Chonburi, for anyone who is interested.

 

What appalling driving by the truck driver. I suspect he lost control of the trailer due to speeding, not driving to conditions, excessive braking, panicking, poor maintenance. Seriously injuring and endangering others' lives should have ramifications. There will be none for the driver here sadly.

How do you splice something in two?

[Briggsy]

split / sliced (in journalist's mind) = spliced.

Nah!! Not an accurate description.... Maersk container on the back of an  indescribed truck

Spliced in two? Splicing normally results in the opposite effect, something I don't think will happen with the bike.

Yes I have seen a lot of these Maersk container trucks around Thailand, especially thru the Tak mountains towards Burmese border & they do drive like complete fools. ???

[fabphil]

that truck drivers been on the sms ing or falling asleep, for sure...

Looks obvious from the video that the truck was speeding. A leathal weapon in the hands of a fool.

[cardinalblue]

Slice and spliced are not the same...

 

splice is a term they use with electrical wiring...

[tifino]

 

the motorcyclist can at least go and celebrate life, with a bit of this:

 

 

[kcpattaya]

Looks like absurd speed by the truck...?

Maersk are one of the largest container companies worldwide - nothing to do with truck / driver -

[tifino]

I know without doubt,due to 50 plus years driving hgvs the trailer did not have brakes,or if it did the lines were not switched on,thats the reason we see the truck jacknifed,tractor had brakes but was pushed on by the unbraked trailer.Pure neglect and disregard for all other road users,its to be hoped the unfortunate bike rider will survive without serious injury.

[TKDfella]

One hell of a way to get to the other side! I hope the motor cyclist will be okay but I think many broken bones. The truck driver should be banned from driving...but of course that wan't happen.

And where were the people "rushing" to help the poor bloody motorcyclist?

I you have seen that you would surely assume that the victim is dead.

...not one bystander even broke into a trot to see if those on the road were ok...is that why there are very few track and field competitors here.

... but you never know what else is barrelling down then road...

Find ways to help not reasons for not helping. Of course you must first make sure the way is safe in order to help.
