A 30-year-old woman has died following a high-speed collision in Phuket, after she lost control of her car, vaulted a central reservation, and slammed head-on into an oncoming pickup truck, leaving a husband and wife seriously injured.

 

Police Lieutenant Somchai Nooboon, investigator at Kathu Police Station, was alerted to the crash by the 191 emergency call centre early morning on 7 April. The crash occurred on Phra Phuket Kaew Road in Moo 1, Kathu Subdistrict, prompting police and Kusoldharm Foundation rescue personnel to rush to the scene.

 

At the site, officers found a heavily damaged white Toyota Yaris registered in Singburi province. The driver, identified as Ms. Panisa, 30, was found unconscious and critically injured behind the wheel. She still had a pulse and was immediately transported to Bangkok Siriroj Hospital, but sadly succumbed to her injuries shortly after arrival.

 

Nearby, a white Chevrolet pickup truck registered in Phuket was also found with significant front-end damage. The driver, Mr. Anon, and his wife, who was a passenger, both sustained injuries and were quickly taken to hospital for urgent treatment.

 

Eyewitnesses reported that the Yaris was travelling from Kathu towards the Lotus Samkong intersection. As it passed a bend just beyond the Andamanda Water Park, the vehicle driver lost control and mounted the central reservation at speed, crashing directly into the oncoming pickup truck.

 

Authorities have documented the scene and begun an investigation into the exact cause of the crash.

Phuket again? Is the coverage just more thorough there or is the general population just really accident prone. Seems somebody is dying in an accident daily there. Wow.
