The cabbie said he was driving against the traffic to take a U-turn towards the Bua Khlee village, where he was to drop off his passenger, when the sedan suddenly showed up from under the bridge and honked at him. He said he tried to swerve to avoid hitting the sedan, but couldn’t do it quickly enough, resulting in the crash.
Initial investigation showed that since the road only has one lane, motorists often took their lives in their hands by driving against the traffic to get to the other side.
