At 10:00 a.m. on November 1, 2026, Bang Khen Police Station received a report of a 10-wheel truck overturning on Thepharak Road near the entrance to New Thepharak Soi 25 in Khlong Thanon Subdistrict, Sai Mai District, Bangkok. Officers rushed to the scene with Poh Teck Tung Foundation volunteers. The three-lane road with a footpath revealed a 10-wheel truck with Maha Sarakham plates overturned and badly damaged, glass shattered, with sand spilled across two full lanes. Only the far right lane remained passable, creating a lengthy traffic jam. A gray sedan with Bangkok plates was found crushed under the truck's front, and one pedestrian crossing signal pole had been knocked down. Officials were coordinating a large crane to urgently remove the truck. The truck driver told police he was hauling sand to fill land in the On Nut area when a motorcycle ahead braked suddenly for a pedestrian crossing signal. Unable to stop in time, he swerved onto the footpath, struck the signal pole, and the truck flipped over. The driver was taken to hospital for injuries before police recorded the scene as evidence and proceed with legal action.
