A commuter bus collided with a parked 10-wheel lorry before veering off the road and crashing into a pick-up truck parked beside a roadside noodle shop, sending partially it into a canal. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the incident, which occurred in the Bang Pakong district of Chachoengsao province.

 

At approximately 08:00 on 2 July, Pol. Sub-Lt. Preecha Khemsiri, an investigative officer from Bang Pakong Police Station, received a report of a collision involving a commuter bus and a 10-wheel truck. The collision took place near the “Je Thum Noodle Shop” along Sirisothon Road inbound towards Chachoengsao, in Moo 8, Tha Sa-An subdistrict.

 

Emergency services and rescue workers were dispatched to the scene, where they found a Bangkok-registered commuter bus with severe front-end damage after ramming into the rear of a Chumphon-registered lorry. Nearby, a Bangkok-registered pick-up truck, believed to belong to the noodle shop owner, was found with its front in a canal adjacent to the crash site.

 

 

According to Mr. Anek 59, the bus driver, he had just completed his morning rounds transporting staff and was returning home when the crash occurred. He admitted misjudging the distance to the stationary lorry, resulting in a forceful collision that caused the bus to skid sideways and crash into the parked pick-up truck, pushing it into the canal.

 

Mr. Jakkrachai 31, the driver of the lorry, said he had stopped by the roadside to have breakfast before continuing to a company to pick up goods. Shortly afterwards, the bus struck the rear of his truck and the impact pushed the nearby pick-up into the canal.

 

Initial investigations were conducted at the scene by the police, who documented the damage and collected evidence. The bus driver was taken to Bang Pakong Police Station for further questioning and legal proceedings.

 

Despite the dramatic nature of the crash, authorities confirmed that no one was injured.
