Train Collides with Pickup Truck at Railway Crossing, Killing Four and Injuring Six
Pictures from responders. A collision occurred in Trang province when a passenger train collided with a pickup truck at a railway crossing, resulting in four fatalities and six injuries. The incident took place at 14:40 on 13 March, in Bang Mak Subdistrict, Kantang District, when the Kantang–Bangkok Apiwat train struck a pickup truck attempting to cross the tracks. At the scene, a black half-cab pickup truck was found severely damaged, with the rear section completely wrecked. Authorities confirmed that four people died at the scene, while six others sustained injuries. Among the victims, six were inside the vehicle, while four had been sitting in the back of the truck. Eyewitnesses described hearing a loud crash and seeing bodies thrown from the vehicle in different directions. “I was selling goods nearby when I heard the impact. It was terrifying. I ran over and saw people thrown from the truck, it was shocking,” one witness recounted. The train driver stated that he had sounded the horn as the train approached the crossing, but the pickup truck failed to stop in time. Due to the speed and weight of the train, he was unable to bring it to an immediate halt, resulting in the collision. The truck’s driver survived the crash, but those sitting in the back were thrown from the vehicle, suffering serious injuries or fatal blows. Police Colonel Pradit Chaiphol, Chief of Kantang Police Station, revealed that the pickup truck was transporting workers from a black tiger prawn farm. Investigations showed that the train had been approximately 200 metres from the crossing when the driver noticed the pickup approaching. Despite repeated warning signals, the driver proceeded, leading to the crash. Following the incident, both the train driver and the pickup truck driver were tested for alcohol and drugs. While no alcohol was found in their systems, the pickup driver tested positive for drugs and admitted to having taken them before driving. Authorities have charged the pickup truck driver with reckless driving causing death. Further investigations, including interviews with survivors and witnesses, are underway as legal proceedings continue. SRT confirmed that it was an illegal shortcut constructed without permission. However as it is commonly used and for safety reasons, warning signs, traffic signs, flashing lights, and warning signs on both sides had been installed, meant to increase safety for road users. -- 2025-03-14 -

Teenager Stabs Friend to Death at Birthday Party Near Pattaya
Picture from reenactment. A 17-year-old teenager has been arrested for fatally stabbing his 19-year-old friend at a birthday party, reportedly over a long-standing personal feud. Police from Banglamung Police Station, led by Deputy Superintendent Pol. Lt. Col. Kornpong Sookvisit, apprehended the suspect, identified as Inthakhwin, known as “Win”, following the attack on Pichat, known as “Jeab”, during a birthday gathering at a house in Banglamung District. The incident took place at approximately 11:00 on 13 March, at a residence that also operates as a boat repair workshop. The victim was stabbed in the left side of his chest, with the wound piercing his heart. Despite being rushed to Banglamung Hospital, he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Authorities found a 32-centimetre knife, believed to be the murder weapon, near a sofa at the crime scene. The suspect later confessed and participated in a police reconstruction of the events. According to Win, tensions between him and Jeab had been building for some time. The two had known each other for nearly two years and had previously lived together. Win claimed that he had introduced Jeab to his circle of friends and had even partnered with him in a small business venture. However, he alleged that Jeab frequently belittled him, leading to resentment. During the birthday celebration, their friends encouraged them to resolve their differences. However, Jeab reportedly insulted Win, saying, “People like you will never get far.” Enraged, Win left the gathering, retrieved a knife from the kitchen, and returned to stab Jeab before fleeing the scene. After learning that the victim had been taken to hospital, Win returned to the house, called his mother, and decided to surrender to police. The suspect is now in police custody at Banglamung Police Station, where he awaits legal proceedings. -- 2025-03-14
