Thread: Three teachers suffer only minor injuries after their car plummets off the side

Three teachers from Samut Prakan have sustained only minor injuries after their sedan fell from a hill while they were heading to a temple in the Si Racha district Thursday afternoon (October 21st).


Emergency responders were notified of the accident at 1:00 P.M. on Phra Kru Hill in the Surasak sub-district.


First response teams arrived at the scene to find the overturned sedan seven meters down from the hill off the road. Three people inside the sedan had luckily sustained only minor injuries. All three were taken to a local hospital for a check-up.

The driver, Ms. Rao, 45, a teacher in Samut Prakan, told the local Thai media, “We were going to a temple over this holiday weekend, the Khao Phra Kru Temple, as part of a teachers field trip. ”


“A total of ten teachers from the same school were on this group religious trip. There were five people in my car. We found that the hill was very steep and we had difficulty climbing it overall.” Ms. Rao continued.


“Two teachers decided to get out of the car to lower the weight to attempt to help the car climb the hill. However, it backfired somehow and we had a brake failure, causing us to go backwards off the side of the hill. Luckily, we were not seriously injured.” Ms. Rao stated.


At this time, Si Racha police stated no charges would likely be placed in the incident.

and we had a brake failure

doubtful.

driver incompetence more likely.

it backfired somehow and we had a brake failure

Translation : Without the weight holding the rear wheels down, they span and she lost control because she isn't a very good driver.

from the photo on the link it looks like it was a nissan almeira.

with a 1200 cc engine it should have been powerful enough to carry 5 skinny thai girls up a hill like that.

but after two of them got out on the hill, it would be a steep hill start necessitating balancing handbrake release against transmission take up, but the cvt type transmission on those cars will have needed full throttle to get moving. a manoeuvre that no thai driver ever will have been either taught or tested on.

the driver was probably slow to give it full throttle after releasing the handbrake and the car will have slipped back.

panic set in and over the edge it went.

case closed.

5 skinny Thai girls?

Have you seen Thai teachers lately?

You can Neverna find 3 wise men on broke back mountain, probably on the lash with Chitty as he get the champers on ice for the Ole Trafford tragedy in the theatre of REAMS. Tragically they will return with full skillset to continue the "education" of the yoof and some great Instagram 'moneyshots"
