Accident Lorry Carrying Chickens Causes Eight-Vehicle Pile-Up in Chachoengsao
Picture courtesy of SiamRath A ten-wheeled lorry transporting 2,500 live chickens caused a dramatic eight-vehicle pile-up during rush hour in Chachoengsao province on the morning of 29 July, after its brakes reportedly failed while approaching a busy intersection. Over 30 people were affected, including schoolchildren, government employees and medical personnel going to work,but miraculously, no one suffered life-threatening injuries. The crash occurred at approximately 07:30 at the Robinson Junction traffic lights on Route 314 (Chachoengsao–Bang Pakong), near Municipal School No. 2 and the turnoff to Thep Khunakorn Road leading to Wat Sothon. According to police investigators, the lorry driver lost control of the vehicle while descending a flyover and ploughed into a queue of vehicles waiting at the lights. Among the eight vehicles damaged were a Toyota Alphard, BMW sedan, several pickups, including two converted for school transport, a BYD electric vehicle, a Honda Civic and the ten-wheeled lorry itself, registered in Saraburi. The impact left several cars stacked up and some forced onto the central reservation, with school vans taking the brunt of the collision. Nine students were in one of the school pickups at the time, with another three in a second. Dashcam footage captured the moment the crash occurred, showing vehicles being violently struck and children being pulled from wreckage under a collapsed roof. Fortunately, most children sustained only bruises or minor injuries. The most serious case involved a 15-year-old student named Ratchanon, who suffered a significant arm injury. The driver, 35-year-old Mr. Ittiphat from Prachinburi province, later offered a tearful apology at the local police station to the injured boy’s father. He explained that he had been transporting poultry from a Chonburi farm to a slaughterhouse in Minburi, Bangkok, and that his vehicle’s brakes had been working normally earlier in the journey. However, as he approached the intersection, he claimed the brake pedal failed entirely. “It felt like pressing into empty space,” he said. “I heard a hissing sound, like air escaping. I believe the air brake system failed and the brakes didn’t grip.” Attempting to reduce the damage, he swerved into the rightmost lane, which was less crowded. The crash caused massive disruption, and those involved, including many civil servants on their way to work, later gathered at Chachoengsao City Police Station to give statements. Local police have launched a full investigation into the mechanical failure and the roadworthiness of the vehicle. The incident, while serious, is being hailed as a narrowly averted mass casualty disaster. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamRath 2025-07-29 -

Report Court Prepares for Final Hearing in Thaksin Case on 30th July
Picture courtesy of Daily News The Supreme Court is poised to conduct the final hearing in the ongoing legal proceedings against former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra on 30th July. This highly watched case pertains to the enforcement of penalties for political figures, with the outcome anticipated by many. Over the course of six prior sessions, 30 witnesses have been called to provide their testimony. These sessions have been crucial in examining various aspects of the case, including procedural and health-related issues surrounding Thaksin's treatment and detention. The upcoming session will spotlight former Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam, the sole witness for this final stage. His testimony is expected to play a pivotal role in wrapping up the series of hearings. Earlier hearings have showcased a diverse group of witnesses. On 13th June, officials from Bangkok's special prison testified about the transfer processes for inmates requiring medical attention outside the facility. This was followed by a session on 4th July, featuring medical personnel from both within and outside the prison system, who provided insights into Thaksin’s healthcare arrangements. The court continued its enquiries on 8th July, focusing on corrections officers and their roles in Thaksin's transfer to a police hospital, reported Daily News. Subsequent sessions included testimony from corrections department executives and various medical specialists who further elaborated on the circumstances of Thaksin's detention and healthcare. Strict guidelines have enforced the sessions, despite their openness to interested parties and the media. Attendees are restricted to listening only, without the ability to document or publicise witness testimonies to protect personal data and maintain the integrity of the legal process. As the final hearing approaches, the nation awaits the court's decision, which will establish the timeline for any forthcoming judgements concerning Thaksin’s legal standing. The determinations of the court will signal the next chapter in this high-profile case. Adapted by ASEAN Now from [source] 2025-07-30 -
