[snoop1130]

 

In an unfortunate event early today, a severe road collision occurred on Route 24, Chokchai-Det Udom Road, in the Nong Bunnak subdistrict of Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. Around 7:19 am, a cassava-laden truck from Bangkok experienced brake failure, leading to a tragic accident involving multiple vehicles.

 

The incident sadly resulted in the death of 55-year-old Thanakrit, a resident of Buriram, whose pickup truck was crushed under the overturned cassava truck. Three others sustained injuries and were swiftly taken to Nong Bunnak Hospital, thanks to prompt action by local rescue services.

 

 

Police investigations suggest that the ill-fated truck lost control due to brake failure, colliding first with an unidentified 10-wheel truck, and subsequently overturning onto the pickup carrying a Khon Kaen license plate. The chaotic scene involved all vehicles travelling towards Chokchai district from Nong Ki district.

 

The driver of the overturned truck has openly admitted to losing control after brake failure, leading to the cascade of events that resulted in this grievous mishap. As rescue teams work to clear the scene, the incident highlights the pressing need for stringent vehicle safety checks to prevent such tragic occurrences on Thailand's busy roads, reported The Thaiger.
