Fatal accident in Samut Prakan as truck falls on worker during repair

[webfact]

 

A tragic accident has occurred in Samut Prakan province, where a heavy-set man was killed after a six-wheel truck fell on him while he was conducting repairs on it.

 

The incident happened at a Ta Sai located along Khlong Khud Road, Bang Phli District yesterday (January 14). The man, a 57 year old worker from Warin Chamrap, Ubon Ratchathani province, was working on the truck after his shift when the unfortunate event took place. The truck, without any support, fell on him, causing his immediate death.

 

Upon getting the report of the incident, Deputy Investigation Officer Thanakrit Kaen-in of Bang Phli police station, alongside medical personnel from Bang Phli Hospital and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, arrived at the scene. There, they found the lifeless body of the man kneeled down with a pair of pointed pliers in his right hand on the truck’s beam. His chest and back showed signs of severe impact, with broken bones apparent, reported Khao Sod.

I don't think mentioning that the man killed was heavy set was necessary.  Anyone would have died if a six wheel truck fell on them...

And obviously this accident, like many others, would not have happened if he would have followed safety rules.

But I guess in Thailand they call it bad luck and buy another amulet. TiT
