The driver of Srimongkol Tour Company’s tour bus, Mr Daoruang Butsriphum, told police that the bus carrying about 20 passengers from Pattaya to destination in Ubon Ratchathani.

As the bus arrived at a sharp curve of Route 226 in Tambon Sa Kamphaeng Yai, he said that he applied the brake to slow down the speed as he tried to negotiate the curve, but the brake failed to work properly causing him to lose control of the vehicle which skidded into the roadside and overturned.

Similar to the one that crashed on the 24 three weeks or so ago. That wasn't a sharp curve and it certainly wasn't due to the road works going on down there. Plain and simple driver error IMHO.
