An incident unfolded on the Pho Phra Ya-Tha Ruea road in Ayutthaya’s Tha Ruea district on January 13, as a six-wheel truck transporting fresh chicken parts crashed into the rear of a trailer truck. The driver of the six-wheel truck was pronounced dead at the scene, and chicken parts were strewn across the road.

 

The incident occurred around 11:45 with police officers from Tha Ruea Police Station and rescue teams from Ayutthaya Ruam Jai Association responding to the scene. Upon arrival, they found a severely damaged white six-wheel truck with Suphan Buri registration plates, filled with containers of fresh chicken parts.

 

The driver, later identified as Mr Boonlert, 57, from Suphan Buri, was trapped in the wreckage. Rescue teams used hydraulic cutting equipment to extract his body.

 

The trailer truck, registered in Loei province, was loaded with fertiliser and showed damage to the rear of its trailer. The driver, Mr Weerachat, 43, explained that he had been delivering fertiliser from Kalasin and was preparing to turn left into a warehouse when he heard a loud crash. He discovered that the six-wheel truck had slammed into the back of his vehicle.

 

CCTV footage revealed that the trailer truck had slowed down to make the turn when the six-wheel truck, following closely behind, failed to stop in time and collided at speed. The impact scattered chicken parts and containers across the road, leaving a long trail of brake marks leading up to the point of collision.

 

Police are continuing their investigation, reviewing CCTV footage and gathering witness statements, including testimony from Mr Weerachat. Legal proceedings will follow in line with the findings of the investigation.
