A crash occurred on November 28, at approximately 06:50, on Chayangkun Road near Ban Non Nam Thaeng School in Mueang District, Amnat Charoen Province. The collision involved a blue Mazda pickup truck, a motorcycle, and an electric tricycle, resulting in three injuries and two fatalities.

 

The injured victims were identified as:

 

• Mr. Chinnakorn Sopamas, 41, the driver of the pickup truck, residing in Na Chik Subdistrict, Mueang District, Amnat Charoen.

 

• Miss Parinyakorn Wongsawaek, 11, a passenger in the truck and a resident of the same subdistrict.

 

• Master Phupha Sopamas, 10, also a passenger in the truck and from Na Chik Subdistrict.

 

Emergency responders from the Non Nam Thaeng and Phet Kasem rescue teams worked swiftly to free the injured individuals trapped inside the overturned pickup truck. They were transported to Amnat Charoen Hospital for medical treatment, where their conditions are reported as stable.

 

Tragically, two individuals were pronounced dead at the scene:

 

• Mr. Heng Kanyamasa, 77, a resident of Non Nam Thaeng Subdistrict, Mueang District. He was driving an electric tricycle when the crash occurred.

 

• Ms. Orawan Promnam, 22, from Kai Kham Subdistrict, Mueang District, who was riding a yellow motorcycle at the time of the collision.

 

Witnesses at the scene reported that the pickup truck driver lost control, possibly due to excessive speed, veering off course, overturned and colliding with a concrete, trapping its three occupants inside. 

 

As the truck rolled, it struck the motorcycle and electric tricycle traveling along the road, violently throwing both riders and their vehicles onto the grassy verge beside the road.

 

Rescuers performed CPR on Mr. Heng and Ms. Orawan, but their injuries were too severe, and both were pronounced dead on the spot.

 

Local authorities have launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash. Preliminary reports suggest speed and possible driver error as contributing factors, though further analysis will confirm the details.

'Pick up trucks with excessive speed losing control' seems to be a standard line in these reports. RIP to the innocents just going about their daily lives.

Yet nothing will ever be done to change things in Thailand.

I’m sure it was break failure as usual. Nothing to do with the speeding or reckless driving.

I'm  sure it was not the brakes, it was the medical thing: falling asleep
