14 killed in Tak road crash

 

At least 14 people were killed when a truck crashed head-on into a local bus on a mountain road in Tak's Muang district late Wednesday morning, police and hospital officials said.

The six-wheel truck, loaded with zinc plate, was heading to Muang district.

The driver claimed his brakes failed, he lost control and crashed into the oncoming bus, a songthaew carrying local people.

"The truck driver lost control and smashed into a car in front of him as well as hitting an oncoming bus," Pol Lt Col Patipan Mahatthanavisan said.

A spokesman for the Tak provincial hospital said 14 people died in the accident, 11 of them at the scene and three more at the hospital. Another two people were injured.

The accident spot is near the scene of a previous bus crash in March in which 30 people were killed.
