Picture from responders.

 

A crash occurred early morning on 3 April, on Mittraphap Road, in front of Tha Phra Market, Khon Kaen province, when a long-distance passenger bus travelling from Udon Thani to Bangkok collided with a parked lorry. The crash resulted in the death of the bus driver and left one passenger injured.

 

At 06:50, emergency responders were alerted to a serious collision on the busy highway. A passenger bus on the Udon Thani–Bangkok route had crashed into the rear of a stationary lorry parked along the roadside. Rescue teams, including medics and local police, arrived at the scene to assist the injured and assess the damage.

 

 

The bus driver was pronounced dead at the scene due to the severity of his injuries. A passenger sustained injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Authorities have yet to release details on the victim’s condition.

 

 

 

Police secured the site and were conducting an investigation into the cause of the crash. Preliminary reports suggest that poor visibility or driver fatigue, could have contributed to the collision.

 

Authorities are examining CCTV footage and interviewing witnesses to determine whether the stationary lorry was legally parked and whether the bus driver attempted to brake before impact.
