Pedestrian Killed, Body Scattered 3km on Southern Highway
Rescue workers recovered human remains scattered over three kilometers on Asian Highway 41 in Nakhon Si Thammarat after a man was fatally struck by a vehicle and then run over by multiple others in the early morning. The victim, identified only as male, was likely walking on the four-lane highway around 3:30 a.m. when the initial collision occurred. Police are investigating to identify the deceased and determine the exact circumstances.
On November 10, 2026, Pol. Lt. Col. Somphong Nitiphak, Superintendent of Thung Song Police Station, Nakhon Si Thammarat, received a report that at approximately 3:30 a.m. the same day, volunteers from the Thung Song Pracharuamjai Foundation gathered human body parts scattered along Asian Highway 41 in Na Pho subdistrict, Thung Song district. The remains were fragmented flesh that could not be identified beyond the victim being male. Rescue workers walked in a line with stretchers, collecting pieces strewn over more than one kilometer up to the border with Na Bon district. Later that morning, additional parts believed to belong to the same person were found in Na Bon district, though the head and arms were still missing. Search efforts continued, with speculation that missing parts may have adhered to the initial striking vehicle or were further scattered by passing traffic. Police initially surmise that during the late night the deceased may have been crossing or walking on the four-lane highway when a speeding vehicle struck him, killing him and leaving his body in the roadway, where multiple subsequent vehicles ran over it, scattering remains over a distance exceeding three kilometers. Police will investigate and gather evidence to identify the deceased for further legal proceedings.
