A senior police officer was found dead inside a crashed patrol vehicle after losing control in wet conditions during a rainstorm in Mae Taeng district, Chiang Mai province.

 

The fatal incident occurred at approximately 17:25 on 18 May, when Chiang Mai’s 191 Emergency Response Centre received a report from the Erawan Rescue Unit of an overturned police pickup truck on Chotana Road. The vehicle had been travelling from Ban Thap Duea towards Ban Pang Kwang in Inthakhin subdistrict.

 

Rescue personnel from Mae Taeng Police Station and emergency responders were immediately dispatched to the scene.

 

Upon arrival, they discovered a police-marked Isuzu pickup truck, registration number 46066, overturned beside the road. Inside the vehicle, they found the lifeless body of Police Lieutenant Colonel Somchai Kanchomphu, Deputy Superintendent of Investigations at Hang Chat Police Station, Lampang province. Emergency crews used hydraulic cutting equipment to retrieve his body from the wreckage.

 

Initial reports suggest Lt Col Somchai had been on duty in Chiang Mai and made a brief visit home to see his wife. He was believed to be returning when the crash occurred. Heavy rainfall at the time and a sharp bend in the road likely contributed to the vehicle losing traction and overturning.

 

Police investigators will conduct a full forensic examination to determine the exact cause of the crash.
