At around 02:48 on 30 September 2569, police from Mae Ka Station received a report that a car had lost control, overturned, and slid into a roadside ditch and grass along the Phayao‑Nakhon Sawan Road, about 200 metres past Mae Ka Sub‑district municipality in Mueang Phayao District, Phayao Province. Officers, together with volunteers from the Phayao Charitable Association and Famuai rescue team, rushed to the scene. They found a white Toyota sedan, licence plate from Phayao, lying on its side in the ditch, severely damaged. The driver was trapped inside; rescuers used hydraulic cutting equipment to free the body. The driver was identified as 39‑year‑old Phachorat (surname withheld), a lecturer at a demonstration school affiliated with a university. He was pronounced dead at the scene before being taken to Phayao Hospital for autopsy. Preliminary investigations suggest the vehicle was travelling from Phayao city toward Phayao University when it skidded on a curve, ran off the road, and overturned into the ditch. The exact cause remains under investigation, with police collecting evidence, examining the vehicle and the surrounding area to determine what happened.
