A crash occurred early morning on December 13, when a six-wheel truck veered off the road and plunged into Ban Huai Yang Reservoir in Ban Hua Fai, Na Kha Subdistrict, Manchakhiri District, Khon Kaen Province. The crash claimed the life of the 68-year-old driver, whose body was later recovered by rescue teams.

 

The incident took place near Nong Yai Khao Nok in Na Kha Subdistrict. Local authorities were alerted to the crash by a concerned citizen. Rescue teams from Manchakhiri Disaster Relief Unit and Ruamkatanyu Foundation responded promptly to the scene. Upon arrival, they found the truck submerged in the reservoir, with the driver trapped inside the cabin.

 

After an intensive operation, the rescue teams managed to extract the driver’s body from the vehicle. The deceased, a 68-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene. His body was transported to Manchakhiri Hospital for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.

 

The area around Ban Huai Yang Reservoir is known for its sharp turns and steep slopes, which may have contributed to the truck losing control. Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash and assessing whether any mechanical failure or other factors played a role in the tragedy.

 

The name of the deceased has been withheld pending notification of next of kin, with the investigation ongoing.
