A sedan lost control while passing a tour bus during heavy rain on Mittraphap Road early July 29, sending both vehicles into a ditch and injuring seven passengers near Pak Chong in Nakhon Ratchasima Province.
At 2:30 a.m. on July 29, 2025, police in Pak Chong District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province responded to a collision between a Bangkok-registered sedan and a Ratchaburi-registered tour bus on Mittraphap Road at kilometer 40. Both vehicles ended up in the roadside ditch, with approximately seven passengers from the tour bus sustaining injuries and transported to Pak Chong Hospital.
