Thai Rath reported on a single vehicle accident on Route 2050 in Rai Noi sub-district of Muang Ubon Ratchathani, NE Thailand yesterday evening.

 

Muang district police and rescue services found a white Isuzu pick-up with a punctured forward right tire overturned and building materials and beer cans spread all over the place. 

 

Unresponsive at the scene was Koson Wongklom who despite CPR was pronounced dead. He had been thrown out of the front passenger seat.

 

The driver Saksit, 43, and Chartree, 25, who was in the back of the pick-up, both survived with minor injuries and were taken to Prince Hospital.

 

A housing estate security guard said that CCTV there had caught the accident showing that the driver hit the central divider at a U-turn and overturned ending up on the other side of the road.

 

Muang district police intend to charge Saksit with negligent driving causing death.

 

As to whether drinking was involved they were conducting DUI tests.

 

Saksit told them they had finished work and bought beer and were intending to drink it at home.
