A serious collision occurred on November 9, on a bridge near the Thatoom Highway Police Box in Thatoom District prompted an emergency response early morning. A pickup truck collided with the rear of a trailer transporting a rice harvester, leaving one person injured and trapped inside the vehicle.

 

The “Chom Phra Gratitude Rescue Unit” received an urgent call for assistance, requesting specialised hydraulic cutting and spreading equipment to free the trapped individual. 

 

The team promptly deployed personnel and an ambulance equipped with the necessary tools to the scene, and as rescuers worked to access the casualty, medical teams worked on his injuries to stabilise his condition and help him survive the incident.

 

Thanks to their quick response, the rescue units were able to extract the injured person from the wreckage in about 25 minutes and medical teams handed him over to a hospital EMS team.

 

The victim was then transferred by Thatoom Hospital’s EMS to the hospital for further medical treatment. The rescue operation highlights the importance of timely intervention in ensuring victims receive necessary care as quickly as possible.
