93 Dead, 575 Injured in Two Days of New Year Road Crashes

Thailand's New Year holiday road crashes have claimed 93 lives and injured 575 people over the first two days, according to the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation. Speeding caused the majority of the 592 accidents, with motorcycles involved in 85.4% of incidents. Highways and straight roads were the most common crash sites, with most accidents occurring between 6-7 p.m. Ayutthaya and Chiang Rai reported the highest number of crashes, while Nakhon Si Thammarat saw the most fatalities. Authorities are enforcing stricter traffic laws, monitoring public transport drivers, and deploying over 50,000 personnel at checkpoints to reduce accidents during the holiday. Enhanced measures include monitoring crash-prone areas and using integrated traffic data systems.
