A taxi caught fire on Rama 9 Road, Bangkok, sending thick black smoke billowing into the air and injuring five people, including a young boy. The driver is reported to be in critical condition and has been rushed to the hospital.

 

The incident occurred on the outbound lane of Rama 9 Road near the Premier intersection, shortly before reaching the Srinakarin Road junction. Firefighters were quickly dispatched to the scene after the fire broke out around 08:01 on October 5.

 

 


According to reports from the Rama Radio Communication Center, the fire involved a Toyota Altis taxi registered in Bangkok. The vehicle, powered by both gasoline and LPG, caught fire following a collision with a road barrier while attempting to make a U-turn, causing it to flip over and ignite.

 

Rescue teams successfully extinguished the flames, and five injured individuals were transported to Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital. The injured include two men, two women, and a young boy. The driver, who sustained severe injuries, is in critical condition and receiving emergency treatment.

 

Authorities believe the fire was caused by the collision with the barrier, which led to the vehicle overturning and igniting. Investigations are ongoing to confirm the exact cause of the blaze.
