An unfortunate collision incident involving a van and a lorry full of rice has cost one elderly Thai woman’s life and left three others hospitalised. Fortunately, the youngest passenger, a one year old girl, was spared any injuries, benefitting from her car seat.

 

The collision incident which occurred on Highway No. 340, near kilometre marker 94 in Sri Prachan District of Suphan Buri province was reported by police investigator, Nathakrit Phanpeuk, of Sri Prachan Police Station.

 

The initial response team included medical staff from Sri Prachan Hospital and Suphan Buri Rescue Foundation, armed with extraction tools to assist the victims.

 

Upon arrival, a white Toyota van, with registration number 5862 registered in Nakhon Pathom Province, was found on the side of the road with four victims. With the aid of extraction tools, rescue workers managed to remove the victims. Three were injured, and one was deceased. The deceased was identified as 73 year old Somnuek, while those injured were Sudjai, a 52 year old woman, Suchanya, a 22 year old woman, and Phanuphong, a 31 year old man who was also the driver. The only occupant to escape any injuries was the one year old girl, identified only as ‘A.’


Approximately 30 metres from the van, a lorry carrying a full load of rice could be seen. Its tail light was smashed, and its rear tire was blown.
