Accident Woman Killed After Being Hit and Crushed by Lorry While Alighting from Bus in Chonburi
Picture courtesy of Komchadluek. A 65-year-old woman was killed on the afternoon of 6 June, after being struck by an 18-wheeler lorry while disembarking from a passenger vehicle on a busy road in Phan Thong District, Chonburi Province. The fatal collision occurred at approximately 13:30, on the Sukhumvit–Phan Thong Road, in front of Wat Si Pracharam in Ban Kao Subdistrict. Police Lieutenant Charuek Phothong, an investigator with Phan Thong Police Station, responded to the scene along with emergency services from Jaturatham Prateep Rescue Foundation. Authorities found the body of Mrs Ratree 65, lying beneath the rear wheels of a Hino 18-wheel articulated lorry, registered in Bangkok. She had suffered severe pelvic injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The vehicle was transporting an excavator and had come to a halt in the second lane of the road. Nearby, a blue Isuzu six-wheeled passenger vehicle, operating as a local songthaew between Chonburi, Ban Kao and Phan Thong, was found parked in the far-left lane. The rear of the vehicle had sustained visible damage from the collision. Ms Noi 70, the victim’s elder sister, explained that Mrs Ratree had been out shopping in Chonburi, a monthly outing made possible by a government welfare card. She was returning home and preparing to cross the road after stepping off the songthaew when the incident occurred. Mr Boonpeng, the driver of the lorry, claimed that he had slowed down upon seeing the songthaew and applied the brakes, but failed to notice that a passenger was alighting from the vehicle. “I was only watching the truck in the adjacent lane and didn’t see the passenger vehicle properly,” he told police. Two other women sustained minor injuries during the crash and were treated at the scene before being transported to Phan Thong Hospital. Mr Samroeng 60, the songthaew driver, stated that he had slowed down and moved into the left lane to drop off passengers when the lorry crashed into the rear of his vehicle. The force of the impact reportedly threw two passengers from the vehicle, with Mrs Ratree being fatally struck and run over, after stepping off. Police have detained the lorry driver for further questioning at Phan Thong Police Station and confirmed that legal proceedings will follow in accordance with traffic laws.

Community Mushroom Forager Stumbles Upon RPG and Landmine Near Thai-Cambodian Border
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. A man searching for mushrooms near the Thai-Cambodian border was shocked to discover a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) and a landmine in a forested area known for leftover munitions. The incident occurred on 5 June near the Chrat Dam in Buachet district, Surin province, along the Thai-Cambodian border. The story first surfaced on a local Facebook page, “Pao Saibunterng Fanpage,” which posted a video clip of the find along with the caption: “Unbelievable mushroom hunt #PaoKitchen #SeasonalForaging.” In the video, one of the foragers is seen holding what appears to be an RPG warhead found in the underbrush. The footage has since garnered attention online due to the dangerous nature of the discovery. The man behind the post, Mr. Latsakorn, 35, later spoke to local reporters. He explained that he and a group of three to four friends had ventured into the forest near Chrat Dam to forage for wild mushrooms, a common seasonal activity in the region. “At first, we were just gathering mushrooms as usual. Then one of my friends suddenly walked up holding what looked like an RPG warhead,” Latsakorn said. “It startled me, but on closer inspection, it appeared to have already detonated or been rendered inert, so I assumed it wasn’t dangerous and filmed it.” He added that not long after the initial discovery, the group also came across what looked like a landmine positioned under a tree. Although it, too, appeared to be inactive, they did not attempt to touch or move it, opting only to record footage. Latsakorn noted that it was his first time foraging in this particular forest. He typically searches in Sangkhla district, which also borders Cambodia, but had never encountered any explosives before. “I was really shocked,” he said. “We didn’t remove the mine, we left it where we found it. I believe the locals have probably seen it before. If I ever came across one that looked active or unexploded, I’d immediately report it to the authorities.” He added that he always observes the warning signs placed by authorities in known danger zones and avoids areas marked as hazardous. The group had only entered parts of the forest designated as safe for public access. The Thai-Cambodian border region remains littered with unexploded ordnance from past conflicts, particularly landmines and RPGs from civil wars and border skirmishes. Although clearance efforts have significantly reduced the number of incidents in recent years, accidental discoveries like this still occur, highlighting the ongoing risks in these areas. Authorities have yet to confirm whether they will conduct a clearance operation in the area where the munitions were found. Adapted by Asean Now from Workpoint 2025-06-07
