What the Thai media has billed as the “seven deadly days” for New Year accidents got off to an inauspicious start this morning.
Seven vehicles were involved in a pile up on the Pahonyothin Road outbound from Bangkok in Saraburi.
A video of the aftermath was posted to Youtube as Por Teck Tung foundation staff and Wang Noi police sifted through the wreckage at 5.30 am this morning.
Fortunately there was only one injury.
Darkness and slippery conditions were blamed.
Por Teck Tung told the media that motorists should be especially careful on the road between kilometre markers 52 and 80 because of the conditions.
There had already been many accidents in this stretch that is in the jurisdiction of Wang Noi police.
It is fortunate that there were no serious injuries but the photo tells its own story. There is only one reason for a car to end up on top of another vehicle…..speed. And it has to be high speed at that.
Will they ever learn? Unlikely !
