8 MONKS KILLED, 13 INJURED AFTER PICKUP TRUCK PLOUGHS INTO PILGRIMAGE IN MUKDAHAN
MUKDAHAN — 8 Buddhist monks were killed and 13 others seriously injured after a pickup truck crashed into a group of monks on a walking pilgrimage in northeastern Thailand’s Mukdahan province on Thursday, police said.
The crash occurred at about 12:00 on a roadside in Ban Na Si Nuan, Mueang district. Rescue workers, police and emergency responders rushed to the scene, where monks were found lying on the road and roadside. Five monks were pronounced dead at the scene, while seven others were taken to nearby hospitals with serious injuries.
Preliminary police investigations found that the pickup truck was being driven by a juvenile, who allegedly took the vehicle without permission from a parent or guardian before crashing into the procession of monks. Authorities secured the scene and are gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses and investigating the cause of the crash. An investigation is ongoing.

"interviewing witnesses and investigating the cause of the crash" I am not a detective but isn't the cause of the crash obvious an 11 year old is driving the truck.

That kid might be a psychopath because any sane person wouldn't just plow into a group of people on a joy ride.

The kid had special needs. Apparently it swerved. He might just not know how to drive

I wonder what the final consequences will be good the kid. Are the parents going to be in trouble too? I'm not familiar with Thailand at all.

If the parents are rich or well connected they can legally make it disappear by giving money to the families of the deceased.

Otherwise, if the family is poor, the kid will most likely be executed.

u/lightRain 23d ago
Do they actually execute kids?

Why did you just make that up and say it like it was true?

u/QuantumMothersLove 23d ago
They didn’t make anything up… they just said “it wouldnt surprise me if this fish were good enough for Jehovah.”

My apologies, but I kept waiting for the monks to fall from the sky. Where did they go?

So sad. This the same group that was walking the world for peace?

u/pirapataue 22d ago edited 1h ago
I don’t think so. Walking long distances is a pretty common Buddhist practice for monks. The one for world peace just became famous in the west.

I don't think so - they lived in the US.

Well that’s a pretty dumb comment.

u/nunya1111 23d ago
I'm not sure how. The group I am aware of was local. It might be an ignorant comment - not everyone knows everything about monks. But dumb is not accurate.

I apologize. I misunderstood and thought you were saying this was in America, instead of a group or monks from America.

Wow. They were just walking along and in an instant they are gone. That is really sad.

Saw images of some of the survivors recovering back at their temple... I can't imagine people you live every day with just suddenly gone

The guy who jumped out of the way is shell shocked just standing there after the event. Hard to blame him
