"It wasn't my fault" - tour bus and truck driver both deny responsibility







Police in Thailand's north east are investigating an accident in which a double-decker tour bus headed for Sisaket collided with an 18 wheel truck.



Fortunately only one tourist was slightly injured in the 7.30 am collision in Prasat district on the Si Khiw to Ubon Ratchathani Road (Route 24).



The tour bus has a party of Indonesian tourists.



Police will have to decide who was to blame between the truck driver and the tour bus driver - or maybe both.



The tour bus driver blamed the truck for cutting in front of him.



But the trucker dismissed this saying that the tour bus driver clearly fell asleep at the wheel.

Used to take the bus a lot in Thailand, Drivers always on the phone or texting while driving.
 
I figured the young gal in a short skirt sitting up with the driver was a potential problem...:rolleyes:

(Would've been for me thirty years ago. :D )

I could have told him he wouldn’t be able to look over the steering wheel
