Upon questioning, the 58-year-old bus driver, Mr. Komol Santat, explained that he was ferrying workers from a factory in Bang Pa-in to locations in Phachi District and Nong Tala District, Saraburi Province. While navigating the deteriorated and undulating road surface, the bus lost control due to a pothole, causing it to flip over and crash.

Shouldn't this be the driver lost control of the bus due to poor driving skills or driving too fast after hitting a pot-hole .............

The bus lost control? Unless it was one of those driverless buses, it was in fact the driver lost control......

Pretty sure that's wrong.  Should be "Hantra" /hǎntraa/ meaning a kind of dessert.
