Two men were killed and three others injured in a horrific early-morning crash after their car flipped over a central reservation on Chalong Krung Road in Bangkok’s Lat Krabang district.

 

The crash occurred around 03:00 on 6 June, near the overpass above the motorway in the Lam Pla Thio subdistrict. Police and rescue workers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation rushed to the scene following reports of a serious crash involving a private vehicle.

 

Emergency responders found a white Honda Freed, registration number from Bangkok, overturned and heavily damaged on its side in the leftmost lane of the two-lane road. One victim was found dead at the scene, crushed beneath the wreckage, while another was critically injured and later died despite emergency resuscitation efforts.

 

The deceased were identified as Mr. Sirawit, 23 and Mr. Thanaphat, 22. Their bodies were transported to the Police General Hospital’s Institute of Forensic Medicine for post-mortem examination.

 

Three others sustained injuries including abrasions and suspected arm fractures. They were treated at the scene and then transported to Chularat 9 Hospital. The injured survivors were named as Mr. Sitthaphat, 22, Mr. Kittichai, 23, and Mr. Natthanan, 22.

 

According to preliminary statements from the injured passengers, the group of five friends had been out drinking at a bar earlier that night. On their way home to Min Buri, while descending the motorway overpass, the vehicle encountered a flooded stretch of Chalong Krung Road. The slippery surface caused the driver to lose control. The car veered into the central reservation, vaulted across two lanes of opposing traffic and overturned.

 

Police are currently waiting for the three injured survivors to recover sufficiently before questioning them further to determine who was driving the vehicle at the time of the crash. Legal proceedings will follow in accordance with the findings.
