A minivan carrying German tourists flipped onto its side north of Phuket

German Tourists Injured as Minivan Hits Motorcycle, Flips North of Phuket

Tuesday, August 4, 2015
PHUKET: German tourists have been taken to hospital after a minivan struck a motorcycle and flipped onto its side north of Phuket today.

Five or more tourists were in the Asia Safari Khao Lak vehicle when it hit a motorcycle about 3.30pm on the main road between the Tablamu Pier turnoff and Khao Lak.

Injuries are not thought to be serious but there's been no report so far on the condition of the motorcycle rider, who also required medical attention.

Those injured were taken to Thai Muang Hosital, further south on the way to Phuket.

The minivan flattened a roadside pole and flipped onto its side after hitting the motorcycle.

Yawn yawn yawn, are we going to see this every few days now.
When will there be greater awareness of driver, passenger and vehicle safety?
Do I see another vehicle with the wrong tyre matches on it again?

Duncan,

a number of accidents along the Route 4 - Phetchkaserm Rd. that is reported in media is relatively low, giving that the road goes through many villages.

In Thailand you should always exercise an extra caution with the things that contains a risk, and either not to engage yourself, or be double as cautious, e.g. don't drive tailing heavy trucks/ buses uphill.

I agree with Sue's comments about Highway 4. How can Duncan make such myopic comments without any facts about the accident and its cause and probably without any knowledge of that stretch of highway or weather conditions at the time?
