A serious road accident involving four vehicles has left one person dead and two others injured on Route 331 near the PT petrol station in Map Lang, heading towards Bo Win, in Si Racha District, Chonburi.

 

The crash occurred on the morning of 13 April and involved two pickup trucks, a saloon car, and a trailer truck. Emergency responders from the Silatham Foundation’s Map Pu unit were quickly dispatched to the scene after receiving the alert.

 

Upon arrival, rescue teams found all vehicles damaged and scattered across the roadway. Three male casualties were identified, with two suffering injuries and one confirmed dead at the scene.

 

The first injured man sustained a torn right ear, facial abrasions, and severe pain in his left leg. He was transported by Rescue Unit 06 to Laem Chabang Hospital for further treatment.

 

The second victim had a head wound, chest and right leg injuries, and was reportedly disoriented, unable to recall details of the crash. He was taken to the same hospital by Rescue Unit 11.

 

The third man was pronounced dead at the scene. His body was retrieved by Rescue Unit 01 and transferred to Laem Chabang Hospital for formal identification and post-mortem examination.

 

Authorities have yet to release the identities of those involved and are currently investigating the circumstances that led to the collision. Traffic on Route 331 was temporarily disrupted as emergency teams cleared the wreckage.

 

Police will review CCTV and interview the injured, when they recover.

Looking at what's left of the vehicles, I would surmise great speed; a result of the laissez-faire policy by RTP.
