At approximately 19:30, Police Sub-Lieutenant Pornpatcharin Narkkee of Khlong Luang Police Station received reports of a fatal crash involving a motorcycle and a covered pickup truck on Chiang Rak–Bang Khan Road, near the elevated Bang Khan interchange heading towards Khlong Luang in Khlong Nueng subdistrict, Pathum Thani province. Authorities from Khlong Luang traffic police, doctors from Thammasat University Hospital, and rescue personnel from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation were dispatched to the scene. They found the body of an unidentified man, estimated to be between 40 and 45 years old, wearing only boxer shorts and carrying no identification documents. Nearby lay a damaged Honda Wave motorcycle, licence plate from Bangkok, and a Toyota covered pickup truck, licence plate also front Bangkok, with its front also damaged. The driver of the pickup truck, 39-year-old Mr Thanakorn Phadungsak, told police he had been travelling from Nonthaburi to Khlong Luang. As he approached the scene of the crash, he spotted the motorcycle riding the wrong way down the road, swerving erratically and nearly colliding with other vehicles. “He suddenly veered into my lane on the right side of the road. I had no way to avoid him, and the collision was very forceful,” Mr Thanakorn said. Police documented the crash scene, and the body was sent to Thammasat University Hospital’s forensic unit for further examination. Authorities are working to identify the deceased and contact his family for funeral arrangements. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-05. -

Accident Cable Technician Electrocuted in Chanthaburi
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. An incident claimed the life of an 18-year-old cable technician in Chanthaburi on the afternoon of 3 May, after he was electrocuted while working on a power pole and fell to the ground. The incident occurred at 14:15, at the entrance of Soi 99, Ban Khom Bang, Moo 9, Khlong Narai Subdistrict, Mueang Chanthaburi District. The victim, later identified as Narongsak, was climbing a ladder to install cable lines when he came into contact with a live electrical wire. Witnesses said he cried out, still attached to the live wire, before falling and hitting the ground hard. Colleagues promptly called emergency services and attempted CPR on Narongsak, but despite their efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Police investigator Lt. Ploypan Arunrat from Mueang Chanthaburi Police Station and a physician from Phra Pokklao Hospital were dispatched to the scene to conduct a preliminary investigation and examine the body. Mr. Marut, 47, a colleague who was working alongside the victim at the time, described the harrowing moment: “We were both working up the pole and had just finished. I climbed down first, and he was following. He had only just begun his descent when he shouted that he was being electrocuted and then he fell.” Ms. Sureerat, 31, another co-worker, said Narongsak had been working with the team for around five months. “He was diligent, very tidy, and safety-conscious. He wouldn’t even work in light rain. I don’t know what went wrong this time.” The cause of the electrocution remains under investigation. Authorities are expected to conduct further enquiries to determine whether safety protocols were followed and if any negligence was involved. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-05. -
