A 35-year-old guitarist was killed in the early hours of the morning  of 25 August, after his car slammed into the back of a six-wheeled lorry in Chachoengsao province.

 

The crash occurred at around 04:00 on Theppharat Road, Ban Pho district. Police and rescue workers arrived to find the victim, named as Mr. Phuwaphat, thrown from his vehicle and lying dead by the roadside. His orange car was left completely wrecked, with debris scattered across the tarmac. A guitar belonging to the victim was also discovered at the scene.

 

The lorry involved, registered in Bangkok, was found nearby with damage to its rear left and indicator.

 

Local resident Ms. Suthida, 53, told reporters she was awoken by the sound of screeching brakes followed by a loud bang. Rushing outside, she saw the aftermath of the collision, with the car overturned on its side in a roadside ditch.

 

The lorry driver, Mr. Thosapol, 32, said he had just finished work and was driving home when he suddenly heard a loud crash at the back of his vehicle. “I checked my mirrors before but didn’t see any car behind me. Then suddenly there was this huge bang,” he explained.

 

Police photographed and documented the scene and took Mr. Thosapol in for questioning. The victim’s body was transferred to Ban Pho Hospital.

 

Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the fatal crash.
