A construction worker sustained serious injuries after his leg was crushed by a pile driver at a railway construction site in Phrae province. The incident occurred at approximately 10:30 on 5 February, at the Den Chai–Chiang Khong railway project in Kanchana subdistrict, Mueang Phrae district.

 

Emergency services were alerted to the incident by the Phrae Provincial Administrative Organisation’s Emergency Medical Response Centre (1669). Upon arrival, members of the Phrae Rescue Volunteer Association found the injured worker trapped and pinned on the pile driver about 10m up the rig and unable to free himself. 

 

Given the complexity of the situation, rescue teams coordinated with the local electricity authority, Thanakrit Electrical Company, to provide specialised working at heights equipment, to reach the casualty and to allow for the safe extraction of the victim, back to the ground.

 

The victim has been identified as Mr. Jesadawut, a 21-year-old worker from Ubon Ratchathani province. He sustained severe injuries, including a crush foot, dislocated right ankle and abrasions on his right leg.

 

Once freed from the machinery he was lowered by rope, given first aid and was transferred to Phrae Hospital by Wiang Kosai Emergency Medical Services for further medical attention.

 

The emergency response involved multiple agencies working in coordination to ensure the safe rescue of the injured worker, including the Phrae Rescue Volunteer Association, Phrae Hospital Emergency Medical Team and Thanakrit Electrical Company.

 

Authorities have urged construction companies and workers to exercise extreme caution when operating heavy machinery, particularly at high-risk sites. Proper safety measures, routine equipment checks, and comprehensive worker training are essential to prevent similar accidents in the future.

 

Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
