A collision between a pickup truck and a Toyota Fortuner resulted in one fatality and three injuries on the afternoon of October 8. The collision occurred around 12:40 on the Roi Et-Mahasarakham road, near the entrance to Ban Por Phan in the Muang Roi Et district.

 

Local police received reports of the crash and quickly dispatched rescue teams equipped with hydraulic tools to the scene. Upon arrival, authorities found an Isuzu D-Max pickup truck, gray in color, severely damaged on the right side. The driver was trapped inside, and rescue workers spent approximately 30 minutes using cutting tools to extricate the body.

 

 

The driver, later identified as 65-year-old Mr. Sanya (last name withheld), succumbed to his injuries shortly after being rescued. Nearby, the other vehicle involved was a black Toyota Fortuner, which also sustained significant front-end damage. Three passengers from the Fortuner were injured in the crash and were transported to Roi Et Hospital for treatment.

 

Initial investigations revealed that the Fortuner was transporting a family from the city of Roi Et to Mahasarakham province. As they approached the accident site, the pickup truck emerged from a side road unexpectedly, cutting in front of them. The driver of the Fortuner was unable to brake in time, resulting in the collision.

 

Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Nothing will ever change here, it'll continue to get worse, until they introduce proper driving lessons over at least 40 hrs. on real roads, and proper test examiners, and of course eliminate corruption, that will never happen here NEVER.

The bad driver who caused this one was the one who died.
