A man lost his life when his car crashed into a tree and was engulfed in flames on the Malaiman Road in Suphan Buri province. Authorities suspect the driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel before the collision.

 

The accident occurred at approximately 07:00 on 24 February. Police Lieutenant Kittiphan Pongkham, an investigator from U Thong Police Station, received reports of a burning vehicle with a fatality inside. Firefighters from U Thong Municipality and emergency responders from the Narai Rescue Unit were immediately dispatched to the scene in Moo 4, Krachun Subdistrict, U Thong District.

 

Upon arrival, emergency crews found a Toyota Soluna saloon car, silver-grey in colour, registration number from Nakhon Pathom, ablaze after colliding with a roadside tree and spinning back towards the road. Firefighters worked for 20 minutes to extinguish the flames before they could inspect the wreckage.

 

Inside the burnt-out vehicle, officers discovered the charred remains of a male driver. Documents found at the scene identified him as Mr Panya Ruengdet, 48, an agricultural officer from Sapphaya District, Chainat Province.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the driver may have dozed off while driving, causing the vehicle to veer off the road and crash into the tree. The impact likely rendered him unconscious, preventing any attempt to escape as the fire spread rapidly.

 

Police are conducting further investigations to determine the exact cause of the crash. They are also verifying the car’s registration details to confirm whether the deceased was the vehicle’s owner.

 

Authorities have transferred the victim’s body for autopsy to confirm his identity and establish the precise cause of death.
