A collision on a bridge over the Noi River in Bang Rachan district, Sing Buri, has claimed the life of a mother while her eight-year-old daughter, a special needs child who is unable to speak, sustained serious injuries.

 

The incident occurred at approximately 10:30 on 27 February, when a four-wheeled sand truck, a Toyota with registration number from Sing Buri, collided with a bicycle being pushed by the victim. The truck’s front left headlight was found damaged, bearing signs of the impact.

 

The deceased has been identified as Ms. Khattiya Phorn, 43, a resident of Pho Chon Kai subdistrict. She suffered severe injuries to her left thigh, left knee, and head, succumbing to her wounds despite rescue efforts.

 

Her daughter, referred to as Miss A aged 8, was found injured at the scene with multiple wounds on her body. She was promptly taken to Bang Rachan Hospital for treatment.

 

Emergency responders also discovered a black bicycle with visible drag marks, two pairs of flip-flops, and a pink water bottle at the scene.

 

Mr. Adun, 45, the driver of the transport truck carrying sand and some rebar, recounted that he was driving up the bridge when he noticed the mother and daughter walking ahead, with the young girl running on the pavement. The child was reportedly trying to get onto the bicycle when she lost her balance, causing both her and her mother to fall onto the road. Unable to brake in time, Mr. Adun’s truck struck them.

 

Authorities from Bang Rachan Police Station are investigating the incident further to determine whether charges will be filed against the driver.
