A devastating crash occurred on the afternoon of 26 April, when a lorry, laden with tapioca flour, crashed into a roadside fruit stall in Prachinburi province, killing three people and injuring four others.

 

According to Ms Malinee, Director of the Provincial Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office in Prachinburi, the incident was reported at around 13:00. The lorry, bearing registration number from Nakhon Ratchasima, was travelling from Wang Nam Khiao district towards Kabin Buri district along Highway 304.

 

Upon reaching Ban Thung Faek, Village 3, in Thung Pho subdistrict, Na Di district, the driver allegedly fell asleep at the wheel. The lorry first sideswiped a black Honda City, registered in Loei province, which was parked at the roadside with no occupants inside.

 

Following the initial collision, the out-of-control vehicle veered into a makeshift fruit stall, tragically killing three people on-site. The victims were identified as Ms Usa Phaopeng, 38, the stall owner, and her two sons, Phuwadol Phonsueb, 12, and Peerapat Phonsueb, aged just six.

 

The driver of the lorry, Mr Jiraphong Aekkratok, along with his wife Ms Supatra Wichaisung and their two sons, Jiraphat and Jirayu Aekkratok, all sustained minor injuries. They were promptly transported to Na Di Hospital for medical treatment.

 

Local authorities are continuing their investigation into the crash. Early indications suggest driver fatigue as the primary cause of the incident.

304 claims another. 

Any big accidents will happen between Khlong Rang and roughly around Non Khlang.

Anywhere between these points, it seems that's where it's gonna happen.

Alledged by who, his wife?  Anyway, he should be taken out the back and shot.

4 people in the truck in the first place is bad enough.

I hope he feels ashamed of himself... wiping out a family in-front of his own kids.

Jail-time for manslaughter.

Who knows what will happen in LOS, if he has money it will cost him plenty if not Jail, still wont bring back the poor people that were killed, tragedy everyday here and over all the years I have been here nothing has been done.

take a look inside the truck cabs if you are able and look at the pile of energy drinks and smokes on the floor.

Say no more.

I Imagine another driver in the temple for awhile or the brakes failed  not his fault.It will happen again somewhere I,am sure
