A tragic accident claimed the life of a 62-year-old driver when his sedan slammed into the rear of an 18-wheeled cement truck parked along the roadside. The vehicle was badly damaged, and the driver died at the scene. The truck driver, who woke to investigate around his vehicle, was shocked by the discovery.

On July 11, 2569, Sergeant Major Kiatithorn Chaturakwamnigul, investigating officer at Ku Bang Luang Police Station, received a report of a sedan colliding with a cement hauling truck on Parallel Road 3902 Kanchanapisek No. 9 heading toward Bang Bua Tong in Ku Bang Luang Subdistrict, Ladlumkaew District, Pathumthani Province. He immediately proceeded to the scene with rescue personnel from Ku Bang Luang Subdistrict Administration and Po Teck Tung Volunteer Foundation.

At the accident site, officers found a pink Toyota Corolla registered in Bangkok with severe front-end damage. Inside the vehicle, they discovered the driver, 62-year-old Mr. Wirat (surname withheld), deceased with facial lacerations.

The other vehicle involved was an 18-wheeled cement truck registered in Phatthalung, with its trailer also registered in Phatthalung. The rear bumper and right wheel showed damage. The truck driver, 58-year-old Mr. Boonruek (surname withheld), told investigators that he was hauling cement from Saraburi to Songkhla. When he reached the accident site around 4:00 a.m., he parked to rest. Around 5:00 a.m., a friend parked another cement truck in front of his. When Mr. Boonruek walked around his truck before continuing the journey, he discovered the sedan had collided with the rear of his vehicle and found the sedan driver dead.

Police officers from Ku Bang Luang Station conducted an investigation at the scene with a physician from Ladlumkaew Hospital, documenting evidence through photographs. They interviewed the cement truck driver regarding the cause of the collision. Po Teck Tung Foundation volunteers transported the deceased to the Central Institute of Forensic Science under the Ministry of Justice. Police will coordinate with relatives to claim the body for religious funeral rites.

Dr. Jetsada Bunyavongsirorj, Deputy Director of Primary Care at Maha Rajah Hospital Nakhon Ratchasima, posted on Facebook as "Dr. Jetsada" to educate the public about H. pylori infection, emphasizing that it spreads silently with five prevention strategies before stomach damage occurs.

The doctor shared that he himself tested positive for H. pylori and could not pinpoint when or how he contracted it. This is precisely what makes the bacterium so dangerous—it can live in the stomach for years without causing symptoms. However, it may silently cause inflammation, ulcers, or even increase the risk of stomach cancer over time.

Prevention is not 100 percent possible since transmission routes are not entirely clear in all cases, but the infection is believed to spread through saliva, vomit, feces, and contaminated food or water. Rather than creating paranoia, the doctor encourages reducing behaviors that make transmission easier.

The five prevention methods are:

1. **Share dishes but use separate utensils**: Family dining is fine, but never reuse a spoon that has entered your mouth to take from a shared dish. If one family member carries H. pylori unknowingly, shared spoons, dipping sauces, and drinking cups can facilitate transmission.

2. **Do not pre-chew food for children**: While some adults do this out of care—testing hot food first or softening food—saliva transfers with it. H. pylori often infects children and may persist for decades undetected. Instead, let hot food cool naturally, or cut food into age-appropriate sizes.

3. **Wash hands properly after using the bathroom**: Many people only wet their hands briefly rather than truly washing them. Bacteria from feces or vomit can transfer to food, utensils, or other people if hands are not thoroughly cleaned. Use soap and scrub all areas—palms, backs of hands, between fingers, and fingertips—especially after bathroom use, changing diapers, or cleaning vomit.

4. **Be selective about ice, fresh vegetables, and food with uncertain water sources**: While not every street food causes infection, restaurants using unclean water, unknown ice sources, or vegetables washed hastily increase contamination risk. Choose freshly cooked foods, clean drinking water, well-washed produce, and establishments with good hygiene practices, particularly when traveling to areas with questionable water systems.

5. **If a family member tests positive, don't assume it's only their problem**: A husband's positive result may explain a wife's months of indigestion she attributed to coffee. A parent's history of ulcers may connect to a child's chronic bloating. Family members should consider testing rather than attributing symptoms to other causes.

On July 11, 2569, Panida Mongkolswat, Samut Prakan MP from the Pheu Thai Party, posted on Facebook addressing allegations of abuse of authority and serious ethical violations concerning her appointment of Somchai Srisuthiyakorn, a former election commissioner, as the third deputy chair of a subcommittee on parliamentary election procedures. She said someone filed a complaint on July 9, 2569, with investigators at Thung Song Hong Police Station, claiming she should have known that Somchai was dismissed from his election commission post in 2561 (2018). Panida provided the following facts: First, she thoroughly investigated Somchai's background and found that the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) Head's Order 4/2561 of March 20, 2018, which terminated his duties, was an exercise of special authority under Section 44 of the NCPO Charter—not a dismissal for corruption. Somchai was never prosecuted, never charged, and has no court conviction of wrongdoing. Election Commission Secretary Sawaeng Boonmee officially stated on December 22, 2566, that the NCPO order did not constitute a disqualifying factor under election law because it was merely a termination of duties, not a dismissal for misconduct. Somchai has been a candidate for parliament in 2562 and 2566 and for the Senate in 2567, and the Election Commission certified his eligibility each time. He has also held various positions in parliament, including parliamentary assistant and committee roles. Second, Somchai's appointment as a subcommittee member was a resolution passed by the full subcommittee through proper nomination and voting procedures, not a unilateral decision. Third, parliamentary committee and subcommittee appointments are governed by standing orders of parliament, which contain no specific qualifications or disqualifying criteria for committee members. Panida stated: "I confirm that every step of Professor Somchai's appointment followed the correct parliamentary process, approved by committee resolutions, and complies with the law. I am willing and ready to clarify all procedures to investigators and relevant agencies." She noted that the complaint was filed while she was investigating a Senate election probe involving related parties.

Dutch manager Erik ten Hag has announced he is not interested in taking over the Netherlands national team following the team's recent parting ways with Ronald Koeman. The Netherlands separated from Koeman after their elimination in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Several managers have been mentioned as potential candidates for the Dutch team, including Erik ten Hag, the former Manchester United manager. However, ten Hag, who currently serves as technical director at Twente, has responded to the speculation, saying: "I'm not ready yet, and I remain committed to this step." He continued: "I plan to continue working here for another two years. I like it here, and I want to help the club move forward." Besides ten Hag, another name in contention for the Dutch national team job is Arne Slot, the former Liverpool manager who is currently unemployed.
