Emergency services were called at 9:50 on October 22, to an incident in Mae Chai district, Phayao province. A car driver lost control and plunged into a roadside canal near the Caltex gas station in Moo 4, Mae Chai sub-district, trapping two elderly women inside.

 

Responding to the scene, Mae Chai Police dispatched officers, and multiple rescue teams were deployed, including units from the Rompho Phayao Rescue Association, Ruamjai Pattana Municipality Rescue, Sritoi Municipality Rescue, and Charoenrat Municipality Rescue.

 

Upon arrival, rescue teams found the vehicle partially submerged in the canal, with water reaching the lower part of the door windows. Rescuers waded through the water to reach the trapped women, providing immediate first aid. Both women were carefully extracted from the car by being placed on spine boards, and carried to the canal’s edge.

 

The first victim, a 66-year-old woman, was suffering from chest pain and discomfort. The second victim, aged 65, complained of neck and left shoulder pain, as well as chest tightness. Both women were responsive and conscious during the rescue.

 

After being freed from the vehicle, both women were swiftly transported to Mae Chai Hospital for further medical evaluation. 

 

Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident.
