A six-wheel refrigerated lorry overturned in the early hours of 25 August, after its driver apparently fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into a pillar supporting the Pink Line Rail on Chaeng Watthana Road.

 

The crash occurred at around 02:00, near Phranakhon Rajabhat University in Bang Khen district. Police and rescue workers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation arrived to find the white Hino truck, registered in Kamphaeng Phet, lying on its side across three of the four lanes. The front of the vehicle was completely destroyed.

 

The driver, identified as 33-year-old Mr Peerapat, was trapped in the wreckage and seriously injured. Rescuers used hydraulic cutting tools to free him before rushing him to Bhumibol Hospital.

Witnesses told officers that the lorry had been travelling at speed down from Bang Khen roundabout when the driver suddenly veered off course, striking a lamppost and then crashing heavily into the rail support pillar. The impact caused the vehicle to overturn and block much of the road.

 

The truck was transporting chilled goods at the time of the crash. Police believe the driver may have dozed off, causing him to lose control. Heavy lifting equipment was brought in to remove the vehicle and reopen the road to traffic.

 

Officers said they would wait until the driver’s condition improves before questioning him further to confirm the exact cause of the crash.
