A tragic accident in Pattaya claimed the life of a pregnant Lao woman yesterday. Her husband, Warathip, aged 31, and their two daughters, aged four and two, sustained serious injuries when a six-wheel truck hit their motorcycle.

 

The horrific event unfolded around 4 p.m. on Highway 331 in Bang Lamung district. Locals gathered in shock as rescue teams attended to the injured. The father suffered a severe head wound, while the daughters bore bruises; the older girl broke her arm. They were swiftly taken to Pattamakhun Hospital.

 

The deceased mother, 30-year-old Mon, was found with her abdomen torn open. Tragically, her unborn child's body lay a meter away from her.

 

 

The truck driver, 62-year-old Sonthana, admitted he dozed off behind the wheel, causing the collision. He stayed at the scene, visibly shaken. A witness reported the truck ran over the woman, intensifying the tragedy.

 

Police are considering legal actions against Sonthana who may face charges of reckless driving causing death, which could lead to a prison sentence of up to 10 years and a fine of up to 200,000 baht, reported The Thaiger.

Must be brutal to witness that.

 

331 is usually a safe road, not when someone falls asleep
