A 61-year-old man has tragically died after losing control of his car and crashing into a residential wall in the early hours of 8 July in Chonburi province.

 

Rescue workers from Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation and officers from Huay Yai Police Station responded to emergency calls at approximately 01:35 following reports of a serious crash in Soi Chak Ngaew 14/1 (commonly known as Soi Nam Hom), Huay Yai subdistrict, Bang Lamung district.

 

At the scene, emergency responders found a blue Mitsubishi Attrage sedan, registered in Bangkok, severely damaged after crashing into a concrete wall. The driver, later identified as Mr. Bangaeun Wiang 61, was discovered unconscious behind the wheel and suffering from critical injuries.

 

Despite the efforts of rescue personnel to resuscitate him at the scene, Mr. Bangaeun was pronounced dead shortly after. Family members arrived at the scene in distress after being notified of the fatal incident.

 

According to local residents, the crash occurred at a sharp bend. Witnesses reported hearing a loud crash and rushed out to find the wreckage. A driver who had been following the deceased told police that the driver appeared to be travelling at high speed before losing control and slamming into the wall of a nearby residence.

 

Police officers documented the scene, gathered evidence, and coordinated with rescue workers to transfer the deceased’s body to Hospital, where it will be held until relatives make funeral arrangements.

 

Mr. Bangaeun was reportedly a landlord who owned and rented out a row of shop units in the area. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.
