An incident claimed the life of a 28-year-old truck mechanic on September 22, while he was repairing the undercarriage of a ten-wheeler truck. The incident occurred at a truck repair shop along the Cha-am-Pranburi bypass, heading towards Bangkok. 
 

According to police reports, the mechanic, identified as Mr. Jetsada, had finished replacing parts under the truck and was preparing to reattach the rear wheels. As he was adjusting the hydraulic jack to lift the truck higher, it tilted unexpectedly, causing the heavy vehicle to crash down on him, fatally crushing his head. His wife and brother, who were present at the scene, were left devastated, clinging to his body in tears.

 

 


Police officers, along with rescue teams, arrived swiftly. They found the lifeless body of the mechanic pinned beneath the rear axle of the white Isuzu truck. Fellow workers, including the mechanic's brother, who owned the shop, managed to use a backhoe to lift the truck off his body. Unfortunately, it was too late, as he had died from severe head trauma.

 

The truck owner explained that the mechanic had initially used two jacks to raise the vehicle and had successfully completed his task of replacing the suspension. However, when he tried to adjust the jack further to reinstall the wheels, the truck's weight caused the jack to collapse, leading to the tragic accident.

 

Police have launched a formal investigation. The body was transported to Cha-am Hospital for an autopsy before being released to the family for funeral rites.

I can only imagine the horror that his family felt watching this incident unfold, you can lay the blame wherever you want, you can say he wasn't following protocols or rules, but he's probably done this hundreds if not thousands of times before, and there's never been an incident before this one. My heart goes out to the family.
