The daughter in law is saying that its in local Thai media that an Udon-Loei bus was involved in a collision with a pick up near Nong Bua Lamphu earlier today.
Apparently,about 20 dead and over 40 injured.
Anyone else heard anything ??
RIP to the victims.

In that last picture, looks as though the bus seats weren't particularly well anchored down.

Wonder, if we'll see an accident report?

# of hours driver's been at the wheel
both drivers blood test results
bus maintenance records (do they even have theses)

not that it means anything, you can do everything right and some stupid fffff (lots of them on the roads) can ruin your day.

side note: was driving home last night around 9:30 and police had a road block / dui check across the main ring road after Nong Sanrong intersection.
