00:00Behind me is Rama True Road, a key route that has been under construction for 55 years.
00:06Plagued by delays and accidents, it has really earned its nickname,
00:10Accident Road. A vital link to southern Thailand, this road sees frequent construction-related
00:16incidents. The latest, a concrete beam collapsed on March 15 at the Daokhanong Expressway bridge
00:22site, killing five and injuring 24. Since 2019, Rama True Road has recorded over 2,500
00:30construction-related accidents, causing 143 deaths and 1,441 injuries. Previous incidents
00:38include falling beams, collapsing bridges, and inadequate safety measures. So why do these
00:43incidents keep repeating itself? Are safety protocols being followed and will contractors
00:49face consequences? But one thing is for sure, Rama True Road will still be deemed
00:54as one of Thailand's most dangerous construction sites.
