Grandmother, Granddaughter Killed in Rain-Soaked Crash
A grandmother and 17-year-old granddaughter died when their sedan lost control on a rain-slicked road in Kalasin Province and overturned into a rice field on July 12.
On July 12, 2025, Sergeant Prasong Sihajaong, an investigator at Non Sung Police Station in Kalasin Province, received reports of a sedan that had lost control, struck a roadside sign, and overturned, resulting in fatalities. The accident occurred on the Khon Kaen-Yang Talat route in Hua Na Kham Subdistrict, Yang Talat District, Kalasin Province. Emergency responders from multiple rescue units, including Kalasin Samakkhi Gratitude Rescue, Asoke Chiang Yuen Rescue, Eng Tek Tung Rescue, and municipal rescue teams from Hua Na Kham and Pho Thong subdistricts, rushed to the scene.
At the accident site, rescuers found a bronze-silver sedan completely overturned in a rice field, severely damaged. Two bodies were found ejected from the vehicle near a roadside pole: a 17-year-old granddaughter and a 63-year-old grandmother, both from Chiang Yuen District, Maha Sarakham Province.
According to initial investigation, the grandmother and granddaughter had left home to attend the morning market, but only one kilometer into their journey, heavy rain made the road slippery. This likely caused the vehicle to lose traction, veer off the curve, strike the roadside sign, and overturn. Both occupants died at the scene.
