A family road trip turned to tragedy when a car driver, carrying five people lost control and overturned on a sharp bend in Prachuap Khiri Khan, killing two and injuring three others.

 

The crash occurred on 11 August on the southbound lanes of Phetkasem Road in Ang Thong subdistrict, Thap Sakae district. Emergency services from the Prachuap Khiri Khan provincial dispatch centre arrived to find the car overturned on its roof in thick roadside grass.

 

Rescuers worked to free all five occupants trapped inside the wreckage. Two people, a boy aged 10 and a woman aged around 45 to 50, were pronounced dead at the scene.

 

Three others were injured: a man aged 35 to 40 with abrasions, a woman of similar age with nasal bleeding and an eight-year-old girl with a laceration over her left eyebrow. They were rushed to hospital, while the bodies of the deceased were taken to Thap Sakae Hospital for post-mortem examination.

 

The exact cause of the crash remains under investigation.

The cause of the deaths is likely easier to ascertain. Probably not wearing seat safety belts would be my guess. Would like to know the truth. RIP those who lost their life unnecessarily.
