webfact Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 A 31 year old Thai man tragically lost his life after his car veered off course and collided with a barrier on a U-turn near Ban Mueang Luang in Chachoengsao province. The incident occurred at 3am this morning, and witnesses say the driver seemed to be dozing at the wheel prior to the crash. Police officer Dechrit Srikacha and a local rescue team arrived at the scene on Road 304, Panomn Sarakham-Chachoengsao in Samet Nuea sub-district, Bang Khla district, Chachoengsao. They found a Toyota Yaris with the registration 9กน7705 Bangkok. The car was severely damaged from the collision with the barrier on the central road. The victim was identified as 31 year old Wuttichai (surname withheld). He was found in a slumped position against the driver’s door. After his body was removed from the car, a mobile phone showing a planned route from the accident site to Bangkok was discovered. by Nattapong Westwood Picture courtesy of Khaosod Full story: https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/road-deaths/31-year-old-dozes-off-using-gps-crashes-car-into-barrier-and-dies -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-06-08 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
