The crash site was a chaotic scene, with a blue Toyota Revo pickup truck, licence plate 9307 Phetchaburi, transporting vegetables capsized and obstructing the left lane.

 

The wreckage of a white Scania container truck was found overturned in a water ditch next to the road, with another six-wheeled Hino dump truck lying damaged in the same ditch.

!ithaya, a friend of Thongsak, arrived to assist and parked his truck in front of Thongsak’s vehicle. Kittisak, who was transporting soil nearby, also stopped to help. Suddenly, a container truck driven by 53 year old Suphat Phairangam, crashed into the stationary vehicles, causing the fatal incident".

Overloaded, tire bursts people arrive to help, then a Muppet driving a container truck hits all of them.
