A fatal late-night crash involving a Chevrolet car and a six-wheeler ice delivery truck resulted in one death and two casualties along route 2068, which connects Non Thai and Nong Sarong, Nakhon Ratchasima. Police are seeking accurate answers to the cause of the tragic accident.

 

The incident occurred on the inbound lane to Non Thai district. The black Chevrolet’s front was seen in shambles and strewn across the route after a head-on collision with the six-wheeler truck. The Chevrolet (plate number: ขจ-7067 Nakhon Ratchasima) reportedly strayed off its lane and collided with the ice delivery truck (plate number: 83-8898 Nakhon Ratchasima).

 

The Chevrolet driver, identified as 28 year old Klathoranong, sadly lost his life while trapped in the wreckage of the car. A passenger, 32 year old Sawanat, also sustained serious injuries. The truck driver, 24 year old Promsiri, was equally wounded and trapped within the truck cabin.

 

Emergency teams from Hook31 rescue foundation and the central office responded immediately to the scene, employing heavy-duty equipment to free the victims from the wreckages. Both victims were speedily transported to Non Thai hospital for immediate medical attention, reported KhaoSod.
