A crash occurred on the morning of December 26, in the Namtok Na Naew area of Phetchabun province, leaving two dead and several others seriously injured.

 

At around 09:00 the Kok Thai volunteer rescue team received an urgent call from the 1669 Emergency Coordination Centre, alerting them to a road traffic incident on Highway 12, Chumphae - Lom Sak, near the Hoi Sanam Sai forest checkpoint. 

 

According to reports, a Mitsubishi pickup truck had left the road at speed and collided with a tree, causing significant damage to the front of the vehicle.

 

Upon arrival, emergency responders found that six individuals had been involved in the pickup at the time of the crash. Two were confirmed dead at the scene, while the remaining four were injured and quickly transported to nearby hospitals. Two of the injured were taken to Namtok Na Naew Hospital, and the other two to Kon Sarn Hospital.

 

The details and names of the victims and casualties were not disclosed by the police. The driver, who died in the crash will be tested as part of the autopsy, to see if alcohol or drugs played a part in the incident.

 

The scene of the crash is located in a border area between Phetchabun and Chaiyaphum provinces, along a stretch of road notorious for crashes. Emergency response teams, including the Kok Thai and local volunteers, worked swiftly to assist the victims and secure the area.

 

Local authorities are investigating the cause of the crash, as no other vehicle was involved and there is no CCTV coverage in the area, will wait to interview the survivors.

The authorities should maybe rethink their CCTV strategy.
