A major traffic disruption occurred yesterday night in Nonthaburi as a collision involving three trucks resulted in injuries, chaotic scenes, and a significant roadblock. At approximately 9.30pm, on Kanchanaphisek Road near the Phra Pimol Canal Bridge in Bang Bua Thong district, the dramatic incident unfolded, sending local authorities into action.

 

The mishap involved an 86-year-old driver, Chaluay, operating a Hino truck laden with broken rice grains. His vehicle overturned, dramatically spilling its cargo across the thoroughfare, causing extensive delays. Rescue workers promptly extricated Chaluay and transported him to Bang Bua Thong Hospital.

 

Nearby lay a battered six-wheeled box truck with visible damage, evidencing the fierce collision that also took out two streetlights and roadside railings. Meanwhile, a colossal 32-wheeled trailer truck, transporting concrete segments for an expressway project, sustained damages, with the heavy load precariously dislodged.

 

Accounts of the accident reveal Chaluay's 10-wheeled truck made a sudden lane change to avoid construction, inadvertently clipping the trailer truck. Consequently, both the trailer and another vehicle, driven by Jaratsin, 42, ended up amid the chaos.

 

Police at the scene took evidence from a dashcam which corroborated the chain of events. Investigations continue, pending further questioning of the 10-wheeled truck driver once his health permits. By 12:30 am, the spilled rice was cleared, and normal traffic resumed. The aftermath of this unfortunate incident underscores the crucial need for careful navigation amidst roadworks.
