Tanker with 40,000 litres of oil overturns
By The Nation

 

CHAIYAPHUM: -- An oil tanker-trailer carrying 40,000 litres of oil overturned on a road in the Muang district of Chaiyaphum province on Thursday.

 

Firefighters doused the tanker with water by 11am to prevent an explosion.

 

Police said the trailer overturned on the Chaiyaphum-Kaeng Kho bypass road.

 

The driver, Kan Naenwong, 46, said he was transporting 40,000 litres of oil from Saraburi to Kaeng Kho district in Chaiyaphum when a pickup overtook his trailer and suddenly cut into his way, prompting him to swerve to the left, causing the trailer to flip.

" when a pickup overtook his trailer and suddenly cut into his way, prompting him to swerve to the left, causing the trailer to flip."

 

exactly the same thing a bus driver said last week when he flipped his bus. remember?

 

maybe they all go to the same professional drivers school.

Road rash drivers!!!...yet it would be so simple to make things safer....punish those who drive rashly, if they recidivate revoke their licence, if they still drive or lack insurance, straight to the Bangkok Hilton...that's how things work in Europe...because many years back, certain European roads were not better then Thai Roads....high fines, licences revoked, jail sentences for those without insurance or driving without a licence, drastically dissuaded and lowered the mishaps!...ok ok I know "but this is Thailand"....to bad....

Would have been far safer to ram the ute. I know its hard to make that decision buy its far more dangerous to swerve a big truck. People get killed swerving to miss a bird sitting on the road !!!

Water on an oil spill...! Christ, they never learn. I'm surprised some folks from India didn't hear of this and come over to scoop up some oil...BOOM...!
