At 6:30 a.m. on August 20, 2025, officers from Rattanakosin Police Station, along with emergency responders from Phramongkutklao Hospital, Bang Pho Tek Tung Foundation volunteers, and Nonthaburi municipal ambulances, arrived at the scene after receiving a report of a collision between a passenger bus and a motorcycle. Two people suffered serious injuries. The incident occurred at Karaeng intersection, prompting an immediate response.
At the intersection of Namvongwan and Rattanakosin roads, officers found a cream-and-red passenger bus stopped in the middle of the intersection with a red-and-black Honda Wave motorcycle pinned beneath it. The driver and passenger, identified as 37-year-old Itthiporn and 48-year-old Rujira, were rushed to Krung Thai Hospital Pakkret and Mongkut Watthana Hospital respectively.
