A crash on the morning of 12 July, on Suwinthawong Road in Chachoengsao province has claimed two lives after a 10-wheel truck collided with a pedestrian before crashing into the rear of a 22-wheel trailer truck.

 

Police from Mueang Chachoengsao Station were alerted to the incident near Wat Ton Tan, Village No. 5, Wang Takhian Subdistrict. Upon arrival, officers found the 22-wheel trailer truck (license plate from Pathum Thani) parked by the roadside with rear-end damage.

 

The 10-wheel truck (license plate from Saraburi), which was carrying cargo of glass, destined for delivery, had severe front-end damage and scattered vehicle parts littered across the road. The driver of the 10-wheeler was found dead behind the wheel.

 

Nearby, the body of a male pedestrian, believed to be a Myanmar national, was also found. It is suspected that he was struck by the 10-wheeler before the vehicle crashed into the 22-wheeler.

 

Rescue volunteers recovered the truck driver’s body from the vehicle and transported both deceased individuals to Phutthasothon Hospital for autopsy.

 

Mr. Somwang 59, the driver of the 22-wheel truck, told police he had stopped by the roadside to inspect his vehicle before continuing his delivery to a major shopping mall. Moments later, the 10-wheeler crashed into the rear of his truck.

 

Authorities are currently collecting evidence from the scene and reviewing CCTV footage to determine the exact circumstances leading to the collision. An investigation is ongoing, and legal proceedings will follow.
