The crash occurred on October 15, on the Sa Kaeo provincial road between the permanent border crossing at Ban Khao Din and Khlong Hat (Highway SK.4058). Pol. Lt. Ekkawut Phetsombat of Khlong Hat Police Station responded to reports of a head-on collision involving multiple casualties.

 

Upon arrival at the scene in Khlong Hat District, authorities discovered a black four-door Isuzu pickup truck, its front severely damaged and blocking the road. Inside the vehicle, rescuers found 68-year-old Mr. Leochai, the driver, injured but clutching his 5-year-old grandson, who was also hurt but still in his arms. In the front passenger seat, Mrs. Somsri, 65, Mr. Leochai’s wife, was also trapped and injured, with another grandson, aged 6, suffering injuries inside the vehicle. Rescue teams rushed all victims to Khlong Hat Hospital.

 

The other vehicle involved was a gray Toyota sedan, which had crashed into a sugarcane field beside the road. The driver, Mr. Thanakorn, 41, was found injured and trapped inside his car. He was promptly taken to the hospital.

 

 


Tragically, four Cambodian nationals were found dead near the Toyota, having been ejected from the vehicle on impact. The deceased included Mr. Lua, 43, another unidentified man in his 30s, and a 5-year-old Cambodian boy.

 

Initial investigations revealed that the Toyota sedan, carrying five Cambodian nationals including the driver, had been traveling from the Ban Khao Din border market towards Khlong Hat, while the pickup truck was headed in the opposite direction. The accident took place on a secluded stretch of road lined by sugarcane fields, where the vehicles collided at high speed.

 

Authorities are continuing to investigate and will interview both drivers before filing any charges.
