A devastating road accident in the early hours of 26 April, has left one person dead after a car collided with a lorry in Loei province, causing the vehicle to veer off the road and burst into flames. The victim, who was trapped behind the wheel, was found charred inside the car.

 

The fatal crash occurred at approximately 00:15 on Highway 2195 near Ban Wang Peng in Tha Li District. A white Suzuki Swift, registration number from Loei, collided with a heavy goods vehicle pulling a trailer. The impact was so severe that one of the lorry’s front tyres burst from the force of the collision.

 

Local military personnel from Paramilitary Unit 2102 assisted in managing the scene and directing traffic, while firefighters from Ahee Subdistrict Administrative Organisation extinguished the blaze.

 

Inside the burnt-out wreckage of the car, officials discovered the charred remains of an unidentified individual, believed to be male. Forensic teams are working to determine the identity of the deceased. The body has been sent to Loei Hospital for examination and to await relatives.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the lorry was climbing a hill en route to Dan Sai District when the car, travelling in the opposite direction downhill, may have crossed into the lorry’s path. The collision caused the car to spin off the road and catch fire almost immediately.

 

The cause of the crash remains under investigation, with forensic officers conducting a detailed inspection of the scene to confirm the circumstances.
