A passenger driver van lost control, on September 9, crashing into an electric pole and overturning in Nakhon Si Thammarat. Nine passengers were injured in what being considered a lucky escape that there were no fatalities. Rescue teams responded swiftly to free the injured from the wreckage and transport them to the hospital.

 

The crash occurred on the Nakhon-Hua Sai Road in the Suan Luang subdistrict of Chaloem Phra Kiat district. Pol. Lt. Col. Ekchak Mukda, an investigator with Chaloem Phra Kiat Police, received the report and coordinated with rescue teams from the Tai Tek Tung and Pracharuamjai Foundations, along with medical personnel from Chaloem Phra Kiat Hospital, to provide assistance.

 

 

Upon arrival at the scene, the rescue teams found a severely damaged white Toyota van lying overturned in the median of the four-lane road. Nine individuals, including the driver, were trapped inside. Rescue workers quickly worked to free the injured passengers, give immediate first aid before being rushed to Chaloem Phra Kiat Hospital. The van had also struck and toppled several electric poles.

 

Preliminary investigations revealed that the van, driven by Mr. Prasit, was traveling from Hua Sai district to Nakhon Si Thammarat city. The driver of the vehicle reportedly lost control before crashing into the electric poles before overturning into the median.

 

Authorities believe the accident was caused by driver fatigue, possibly due to the driver falling asleep at the wheel. Investigations are ongoing.
