Gas Delivery Truck Erupts in Flames, Driver Severely Injured: Chonburi
In a harrowing incident on the evening of November 16,a gas delivery truck caught fire, causing multiple explosions and leaving the driver severely injured. At approximately 17:30, a pickup truck loaded with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders was traveling along Saphan Mai Road near the Chonburi coastline in Makham Yong, Mueang District. Suddenly, flames erupted from the rear of the truck, followed by loud explosions as gas cylinders ignited. Police from the Mueang Chonburi Police Station, along with firefighters from the Chonburi and Bang Sai municipalities, rushed to the scene to extinguish the blaze. After 45 minutes the fire was brought under control. The aftermath revealed three ruptured gas cylinders and the pickup truck itself was almost entirely destroyed, with only the engine compartment remaining intact. The driver, whose identity has yet to be confirmed, suffered severe burns across his body and was unable to communicate. Rescue workers from the Thammarat Maneerat Foundation administered first aid before transferring the victim to Chonburi Hospital for urgent treatment. Mr. Natthaphon, 34, a rescue worker from Chachoengsao who witnessed the incident, shared his account. He was returning from a family trip to Bang Saen Beach when he saw the driver inspecting the truck, which was emitting thick smoke. “I stopped my car, activated my hazard lights, and helped block off the road. Suddenly, the fire intensified, and the gas cylinders began to explode. I recorded a video for evidence,” he said. The driver sustained serious burns during the explosions. Natthaphon immediately contacted local emergency services and firefighters for assistance. He urged stricter safety measures for vehicles transporting gas, emphasising the difficulty of controlling such fires once ignited. “This time, we were fortunate that no bystanders were injured or caught in the explosions,” he added. Authorities are waiting for the injured driver to recover before questioning him to determine the exact cause of the fire. Police have confirmed that appropriate legal actions will follow based on the investigation’s findings. Pictures from responders. -- 2024-11-17 -
