Phayao — A pickup truck skidded and crashed into a motorcycle, injuring two people, before losing control and violently striking an electricity pole, snapping it and killing the driver, who was trapped in the mangled vehicle. The two injured motorcyclists were rushed to Phu Sang Hospital.
On November 1, the Luea Phayao Foundation's Phu Sang unit was alerted to a collision between a Phayao-registered pickup and a motorcycle on the Ban Hua Khua bridge in Phu Sang district, with injuries and people trapped inside the vehicle. Responders arrived to find the pickup had hit the motorcycle before careening into a power pole with severe force. The pickup was heavily damaged, its rear bed torn completely from the chassis, while the pole was snapped, knocking out electricity across a wide area.
Rescuers found two injured motorcyclists, provided first aid, and transported them to Phu Sang Hospital. Inside the pickup, one person was found dead, pinned in the wreckage. The Siam Phayao Foundation (headquarters) from Chiang Kham district deployed personnel and cutting equipment to help extricate the body. Police and forensic staff from Phu Sang Hospital examined the scene and the body before releasing it to relatives for religious rites. Authorities are interviewing witnesses and investigating the cause of the crash, while coordinating with relevant agencies to inspect the fallen pole and repair the damaged power grid.
