finnomick Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Power lines, metal container and wet conditions. I don't envy the recovery crews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinnock Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Very lucky (assuming the bike rider will not come out paralyzed). The video from the source report.

Briggsy Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonmarleesco Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Spliced in two? Splicing normally results in the opposite effect, something I don't think will happen with the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. ???

paddyjoe41 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 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 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
