A Mitsubishi Pajero attempting to overtake on the right swerved to avoid an oncoming vehicle, lost control, slammed into a power pole, and flipped onto its side, leaving six people injured.
At 8:30 a.m. on October 25, 2026, Chachoengsao rescue workers were alerted to a vehicle rollover on Talad Pongphon Road, in front of a company in Moo 2, Khlong Udom Chonlajorn, Mueang district. They found a Bangkok-registered Mitsubishi Pajero heavily damaged and six injured occupants — five men and one woman, three of them seriously hurt. Rescuers provided first aid and rushed all six to Buddhachinaraj Hospital.
Witnesses said they saw the vehicle lose control, hit a power pole, and flip onto its side with victims trapped inside. Locals helped right the vehicle and pull the injured out.
The driver, 32-year-old Sarasak (surname withheld), said he and his construction-worker colleagues had left Wat Nam Daeng, not far from the crash site, heading to Bangkok for work. He was following another vehicle on the highway and accelerated to overtake on the right when an oncoming car appeared, forcing him to swerve sharply. The Pajero lost control, struck a roadside power pole, and rolled over. Five passengers were trapped inside; one was ejected during the impact.
Passenger Amnaj (surname withheld), 44, the man thrown from the vehicle, said he remembered nothing after the crash until bystanders told him he had been lying motionless on the road. He later realized he had sustained severe head and right ear injuries with heavy bleeding.
CCTV footage showed the Pajero speeding up to overtake the vehicle ahead, then swerving violently when meeting oncoming traffic, causing it to spin, hit the power pole, and roll over, injuring multiple occupants. Rescue workers provided initial treatment at the scene before transporting all six to the hospital.
Inspection of the crash site revealed damage to the streetlight pole, while the Pajero was a total loss. Police have impounded the vehicle for further legal proceedings.
