A bus carrying dancers from the popular Isan folk music troupe “Mor Lam Siang Isan” collided with a car on the Stuek-Kandong road in Buriram province, leaving three people injured. 

 

The crash occurred on Christmas Day, when the driver of a Ford car, identified as a 78-year-old German national, made an abrupt U-turn in the middle of the road, resulting in a violent crash with the oncoming bus.

 

The bus, a white Nissan, was en route from Sisaket province to continue a performance in Nakhon Ratchasima when the crash took place. Fortunately, the bus driver, 49-year-old Thanya from Udon Thani, was able to apply the brakes in time to reduce the severity of the collision. “I was driving slowly when the car suddenly turned in front of me,” he said. “If I had been speeding, the situation would have been much worse.”

 

The crash occurred near the village of Dong Yai Phao, Tambon Nikom, in the Stuek district. The car was left blocking the road with damage to its rear right door, while the bus suffered only minor damage to its front. The 22 dancers on board the bus were unharmed, but the driver and passengers in the car sustained injuries. Rescue teams provided first aid at the scene and transported the injured to Stuek Hospital for further treatment. 

Despite the crash, the troupe is set to continue their performance as scheduled, with no serious injuries reported among the dancers or crew.

 

The investigation into the collision is ongoing.
