Pictures from responders A incident occurred in Lopburi when a woman was injured after her truck rolled over her at a steep delivery area of a prominent shopping mall. The woman, identified as Mrs. Naruemon (surname withheld), 44, became trapped under her vehicle and suffered serious injuries due to the heat from the exhaust pipe. The incident took place around 08:45, on August 22 at a delivery area of a well-known shopping mall located on Phahonyothin Road in Lopburi. Mrs. Naruemon was reportedly taking photos when the vehicle unexpectedly began rolling downhill. The truck crushed her underneath, dragging her body until it collided with the mall’s wall. Rescue personnel from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, alongside police officers from Lopburi City Police Station, quickly responded to the scene. After 30 minutes using hydraulic tools and jacks, they managed to free the injured woman, who was in excruciating pain due to burns from the exhaust and other injuries. She was immediately rushed to Phra Narai Maharaj Hospital for emergency treatment. Eyewitnesses revealed that Mrs. Naruemon regularly came to the mall to pick up and deliver goods. On this occasion, she had forgotten to fully engage the handbrake or use wheel blocks. While she was standing in front of the vehicle to take photos as part of routine documentation, the truck started moving downhill, causing the accident. Before being transported to the hospital, Mrs. Naruemon expressed to those around her that she feared she might not survive the ordeal due to the intense heat and inability to breathe while trapped under the vehicle. She also expressed heartfelt gratitude to the rescuers for saving her life. Authorities are investigating the incident further, focusing on the possibility of negligence regarding the handbrake and proper safety precautions when parking on inclined surfaces. -- 2024-08-22 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe The ramp the car rolled down.

Picture of the damaged cable A construction worker in Rayong tragically lost his life after being electrocuted while attempting to charge his phone with a damaged electrical cord. The incident occurred at approximately 22:15 PM on August 20, at a residence in Pluak Daeng District. Rescue teams responded to the call and arrived to find the victim unconscious and without a pulse. Emergency responders immediately performed CPR and requested additional support from Pluak Daeng Hospital. Despite their efforts, the victim, identified as 38-year-old Surasak (surname withheld), was later pronounced dead at the hospital. According to his friend, Chaiwat (surname withheld), both men had been drinking together prior to the incident. When Surasak’s phone ran out of battery, he retrieved a damaged electrical cord to charge it. The cord, which was frayed and had exposed copper wires, had not been properly insulated. Surasak held the cord close to his chest and attempted to plug it in, resulting in a severe electric shock that caused him to collapse violently to the floor. Initially, Chaiwat believed Surasak had simply tripped due to intoxication. However, when he tried to assist him, he too felt a strong electric current and realised the severity of the situation. Chaiwat quickly unplugged the cord and called for emergency assistance. The authorities are investigating the incident. -- 2024-08-21 - Cigna offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to meet the minimum requirement for medical treatment coverage, with benefits reaching up to THB 3 million.
