A family of four narrowly escaped death after their car collided with an 18-wheeler truck on December 5, at around 14:00. The crash occurred on Klang Mueang Road in Ban Non Tun, Mueang Kao Subdistrict, Mueang District, Khon Kaen Province.

 

Rescue teams from Sawang Khon Kaen Samakkhi Foundation, Chit Kusol Khon Kaen Foundation, and paramedics from Mueang Kao Municipality and Khon Kaen Hospital rushed to the scene. The rescue effort required hydraulic cutters to free Mr. Koson 46, a resident of Chaiyaphum Province, who was trapped in the driver’s seat of a Mazda 3 car.

 

The car had been struck midsection by an 18-wheeler truck, bearing license plate from Bangkok. Rescuers worked for approximately 20 minutes to cut open the driver’s side door and extract Mr. Koson, who was then transported to Khon Kaen Hospital for treatment. Three other injured family members had already been rushed to the hospital earlier.

 

According to the truck driver, he was en route to deliver goods to a location on Liang Mueang Road in Ban Phra Khue, Mueang District, after traveling along Mittraphap Road and crossing the railway overpass into Klang Mueang Road. As he descended the overpass, the sedan car stopped and attempted a U-turn back onto the overpass, aiming to rejoin Mittraphap Road.

 

Unable to brake in time, the truck collided with the car’s side. The impact caused the truck to swerve across lanes, nearly hitting a roadside utility pole, while the car spun and was thrown approximately 50 metres from the collision point.

 

Police officers from the Mueang Kao substation arrived at the scene to investigate. Preliminary findings indicate that all four injured occupants of the car belonged to the same family. Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash.
