According to reports, the BMW, registered in Bangkok, first struck the rear left side of a Toyota Camry that was waiting to refuel. The BMW driver then lost control and surged into the KFC outlet inside the petrol station compound. Debris was scattered across the premises, with significant structural and interior damage reported.

Twelve people were injured, including the driver, restaurant staff and food delivery riders waiting to collect orders. One Grab rider was trapped against the front counter after being struck by the vehicle. Emergency responders transported the injured to nearby hospitals and authorities confirmed that none of the injuries were serious.

The driver was identified as Mr Chen Zhen, aged 47, a Chinese national, who also sustained injuries. Wacharin Wongwijan, a volunteer with the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, said casualties were found in multiple areas, including one near the cooking station, three at the counter and several riders outside the shop.

A KFC employee said the shop manager, who was in the rear of the premises, initially believed it was a minor crash outside the premises. They were shocked to discover the car had penetrated deep into the restaurant, injuring the employees.

Police are questioning the driver and witnesses as part of their investigation. Officers are also reviewing CCTV footage from the area to determine the exact cause of the crash. No official conclusion has yet been announced.

Thaitabloid reported that authorities are expected to continue gathering evidence and may pursue legal action depending on the findings. The condition of the injured remains stable, while damage assessments to the restaurant and vehicles are ongoing.
