A 26-year-old worker was killed on 24 February, when a six-wheel truck rolled forward and trapped him against a support post inside a company’s truck parking area in Bang Pu Mai subdistrict, Mueang district.

 

The incident occurred at around 05:00. Officers from Bang Pu Police Station, along with rescue workers from Ruamkatanyu Foundation and Ruamkusol Samut Prakan Foundation, responded to the scene.

 

At the site, they discovered a Hino six-wheel truck registered in Samut Prakan with its driver’s side door crushed against a post. The deceased, identified as Mr Kwanchai 26, was found trapped between the door and the vehicle.

 

According to Mr Anan 59, the owner of the company, the victim had been working there for less than a month. He was supposed to leave to pick up goods at 05:00 and the owner stated he believed the victim had likely left the truck out of gear and it rolled forward trapping him and fatally crushed him, between the door and post. No one witnessed the incident and the body was only discovered later, with the victim already dead.

 

Authorities documented the scene, took photographs, and recorded statements. The body was sent to the forensic institute for an autopsy as part of the investigation.

Too many of these avoidable happen in Thailand.

I'm sure the company didn't have proper training for new employees as well....
