Accident Truck Collision Claims One Life, Injures Another in Chachoengsao
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A collision between two fully loaded lorries in Bang Nam Priao district, Chachoengsao province, left one man dead and another seriously injured on the afternoon of 2 July. The crash occurred when a corn-laden truck driver reportedly veered into the oncoming lane, slamming into an 18-wheeler carrying blocks of raw rubber. Police Lieutenant Colonel Jaroon Chomchuen of Bang Nam Priao Police Station received the emergency call at approximately 16:40. The incident took place near the entrance to Bang Sai Temple on Chachoengsao–Bang Nam Priao Road in Moo 4, Phrong Akat sub-district. Emergency responders from Bang Nam Priao Hospital and rescue workers from Chachoengsao’s disaster response unit rushed to the scene with hydraulic cutting tools. The corn truck, a green Hino bearing registration number from Phayao province, had sustained severe front-end damage. The driver, 70-year-old Mr. Chob Mungkheumklang, was found dead at the wheel, his body pinned in the wreckage. Rescuers used cutting equipment to extract his body. The other vehicle involved, a white Hino 18-wheeler registered in Surin, was hauling raw rubber. Its front axle had snapped due to the impact, with wheels dislodged and rubber blocks strewn into the roadside undergrowth. The driver, 34-year-old Mr. Weerawat Karram, was trapped but alive. He was extricated and rushed to Bang Nam Priao Hospital in critical condition. A local resident, 27-year-old Mr. Krit, told reporters he was watching television when the crash occurred. “There was a huge bang, no sound of braking at all. The whole house shook, it felt like an earthquake,” he said. He ran outside and saw the two wrecked lorries in the middle of the road, then immediately phoned emergency services. Initial police investigations suggest that Mr. Chob may have fallen asleep at the wheel after a long journey, causing his truck to drift into the opposite lane. Mr. Weerawat reportedly tried to swerve but was unable to avoid the collision. Relatives and insurance representatives for both parties have been contacted to begin mediation at Bang Nam Priao Police Station. Investigators plan to question Mr. Weerawat further once his condition stabilises, to establish a fuller picture of what led to the fatal crash. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-03 -

Crime Violent Man Assaults Woman on Motorcycle in Ang Thong
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Residents of a village in Ang Thong province are living in fear after a 33-year-old man with a history of drug abuse and violent behaviour attacked a woman riding a motorcycle to work. The man, known locally for causing frequent disturbances, was later captured by police after fleeing into nearby woodland. The incident occurred on the morning of 2 July in Moo 5, Ratchasathit subdistrict, Chaiyo district. Pol. Lt. Winai Wongdee, deputy inspector for crime prevention at Khaes Chaiyo Police Station, received reports that a man had violently assaulted a 49-year-old woman identified only as Ms. Duan, as she was riding her motorcycle to work along a small village road near the Tha Ruea ferry pier. Upon arrival, officers found Ms. Duan with severe facial injuries, blood covering her face and nose. Witnesses reported she had ridden just 50 metres from her home when she encountered the suspect, identified as Mr. Ya, who was riding a bicycle. Unprovoked, Mr. Ya allegedly launched a brutal assault, leaving her seriously injured. At the scene, police discovered Mr. Ya’s blue sandals and his radio speaker discarded nearby, along with a trail of the victim’s blood. His bicycle was found abandoned close to the site of the attack. Ms. Duan was rushed to Ang Thong Vetchakarn 2 Hospital by relatives for emergency treatment. Villagers revealed that Mr. Ya is notorious in the community for petty theft and disruptive behaviour, often attributed to his addiction to narcotics. Despite being arrested multiple times, he has repeatedly returned to the community, where his presence continues to cause widespread fear and unease among residents. Police initially searched his home but found it empty. A local investigation team from Khaes Chaiyo Police Station later located and apprehended him hiding in nearby woodland. He was taken into custody and is now facing further legal action. Authorities have pledged to pursue the case rigorously, amid growing frustration from villagers over the lack of long-term solutions to recurring criminal activity linked to substance abuse in their community.
