Khon Kaen Man Dies After Car Bursts Into Flames After Rear-Ending Truck
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A crash in the early hours of 23 April, claimed the life of a 36-year-old man from Khon Kaen after his car collided with the rear of a ten-wheeled truck and burst into flames. The incident occurred at around 01:00, on Mittraphap Road, outbound near Ban Nong Ngong in Ban Haet District, Khon Kaen Province. According to eyewitnesses, a red saloon car slammed into the back of a white Isuzu truck. Shortly after the collision, the car caught fire with the driver trapped inside. Passersby, along with a passenger from the truck, rushed to the scene armed with fire extinguishers in an attempt to rescue the trapped man. However, despite their efforts, the blaze proved too intense, and they were unable to reach him in time. Emergency services arrived shortly after and managed to extinguish the fire. The driver was found deceased in the driver’s seat, his body severely burned. He was later identified as Mr Natthaphong, 36, a resident of Khon Kaen. Mr Net, also aged 36, a passenger in the ten-wheeled truck, recounted the moments leading up to the incident. He said they were on their way back to Nakhon Ratchasima after delivering goods in Ban Fang District when they heard a loud noise from the rear of the vehicle. Initially believing it to be a burst tyre, they stopped the truck, only to discover the saloon car had crashed into them. Moments later, flames engulfed the car. Authorities believe the driver of the car may have fallen asleep at the wheel before crashing into the back of the slower moving truck. The exact cause of the incident remains under investigation.

Trailer Truck Following GPS Topples Power Pole, Flattens Car in Khon Kaen
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. Chaos broke out in central Khon Kaen on the 23 April, after a trailer truck carrying a backhoe followed GPS directions into the city centre, snagging overhead power lines and causing a utility pole to crash down onto a black Honda saloon, damaging the vehicle and injuring its occupants. Pol Col Yosawat Kaewsuebthannit, superintendent of Mueang Khon Kaen Police Station, was conducting routine inspections when he received an urgent report from the 191 radio centre of the incident. He promptly alerted superiors and coordinated with Khon Kaen Hospital, local rescue units, the Provincial Electricity Authority, and traffic police to respond to the emergency. The incident occurred at the busy Sri Chan intersection near the Bank of Thailand branch, approximately 300 metres from the city police station. Authorities arrived to find the fallen power pole crushing the Honda on Sri Chan Road, in the direction of Khon Kaen Hospital. Rescue personnel quickly freed the driver and passenger, both of whom sustained minor injuries. Nearby, a yellow trailer truck with a backhoe loaded onto its rear was found parked on Klang Muang Road, in front of the Bank of Thailand museum, heading toward the Khon Kaen provincial hall. Broken power and communication lines lay strewn across the area. According to Pol Col Yosawat, the trailer driver was taken in for questioning. He stated that he was transporting the backhoe from Bangkok to Udon Thani and had simply been following GPS instructions, which routed him through Khon Kaen’s centre. As the truck reached the Sri Chan intersection, its height caught the overhead cables, which snagged and caused the power pole to collapse onto the nearby car. The force also brought down communication lines, prompting widespread power outages and traffic disruption across the heart of the city. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-04-24. -
