Three Killed, Two Injured in Yet Another Deadly Crash on Highway 304
Pictures from responders. A road crash involving a 10-wheel lorry, a 6-wheel truck, and two pickup trucks has left three people dead, including a young boy, and two others injured. The crash occurred on the steep and winding descent of Khao Tone Hill on Highway 304 in Nadi district, Prachinburi province. Emergency responders from the Sajjaputtham Rescue Foundation in Kabin Buri received a call from the Highway Police in Nadi at approximately 12:10 on 28 March, reporting a multi-vehicle collision with multiple casualties. At the scene, rescue teams found bodies ejected from vehicles and others trapped in the wreckage. Hydraulic cutters were required to extract the injured and deceased. The two injured individuals were rushed to Nadi Hospital for treatment, while police from Wang Khon Daeng Station launched an investigation into the cause of the crash, focusing on the 10-wheel lorry believed to have triggered the incident. Khao Tone Hill, located at kilometre markers 210-211 on Highway 304, has long been infamous for its deadly crashes. Just last month, on 26 February, a municipal study tour bus from Phon Charoen subdistrict in Bueng Kan province overturned on the same stretch of road, resulting in 18 deaths and 31 injuries. Another devastating crash occurred on 28 February 2014, when a double-decker tour bus carrying students and teachers from Ban Dong Lhob Mai Samakkhi Wittaya School in Nakhon Ratchasima lost its brakes and slammed into an 18-wheel truck. That incident claimed 14 lives and left 37 injured. Over the past decade, multiple people have lost their lives in crashes on this treacherous section of Highway 304, raising urgent concerns about road safety measures in the area. -- 2025-03-29 -

Construction Worker Falls into 6-Metre Deep Highway Drainage Pit
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A construction worker fell into a six-metre-deep drainage pit in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi, while descending a ladder to carry out maintenance work. Emergency responders swiftly arrived at the scene to rescue him. At approximately 08:30 on 28 March, Pak Kret Police Station received a report of a worker falling into a wastewater treatment pit belonging to the Department of Highways. The incident occurred within the Pak Kret Irrigation Department premises, near Khlong Bang Talat along Tiwanon Road, Bang Talat subdistrict, Pak Kret district. Officers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, the Pak Kret Municipality Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Division, and the Nonthaburi Municipal Ambulance Service were dispatched to assist. Upon arrival, rescue teams found 25-year-old construction worker Kiattisak lying at the bottom of the pit, approximately six metres deep and 4.5 metres wide. Initial reports indicated that Kiattisak was climbing down a ladder when he lost his footing and fell. Rescue personnel deployed a crane basket and a stretcher to lift the injured worker safely from the pit. Although he remained conscious, he complained of severe pain in his back and hips. After receiving first aid at the scene, he was transported to Pak Kret Irrigation Hospital for further medical evaluation. Officials confirmed that the pit was a drainage reservoir managed by the Department of Highways, designed to regulate water flow in the area. According to the worksite supervisor, Kiattisak routinely descended into the pit for maintenance work. However, on this occasion, he reportedly slipped while stepping onto the metal railing at the pit’s edge, causing him to lose balance and fall. Authorities have not indicated whether further safety measures will be implemented following the incident. -- 2025-03-29
