On October 10, 2026, at 9:00 p.m., a fire erupted on a six-wheel orange Hino truck used for road-marking while it was driving on the elevated parallel Borommaratchachonnani road in the Sala Thammasop area of Thawi Watthana, Bangkok. Five workers in orange uniforms were engulfed in flames; three were seriously injured and two suffered minor injuries. Emergency crews rushed the victims to Siriraj and Rajphat hospitals while firefighters doused the blaze. Preliminary investigation indicates the driver heard shouts from three colleagues at the rear about a fire starting from the road-marking equipment, stopped the truck, and attempted to evacuate the crew before the fire spread rapidly. Police are reviewing CCTV footage and interviewing witnesses to determine the exact cause.
