MAHASARAKHAM: -- Forty-eight passengers were injured when a Bangkok-Mukdahan bus flipped on its side and fell onto the roadside in Mahasarakham’s Kudrung district early on Thursday.

 

Police said the accident happened at the kilometre marker 32-33 in Tambon Kudrung.

 

The bus was being driven by the second driver, Pattana Kongcharoen 41, who said the road was slippery, causing him to lose control before it flipped.

 

Four passengers were severely injured and taken to hospital. The other passengers were only slightly injured and were taken to Mukdahan on another bus.

If the rubber farmers can convince the government to buy their rubber and add it to road construction, there's the beginning of non-slip roads for Thai drivers who are unable to adjust to their changing driving environment by slowing down accordingly..

I can imagine the look on the face of a copper in the UK if you blamed a "Slippery road" for flipping a bus full of people

I believe that the so called second driver is a joke . I have seen in other surrounding countries too where the second driver is basically a maintenance guy.. I reminisce one such horrible incidence in India where I heard is a common practice in private bus tours.  The novice took almost 40 lives .
