A 74-year-old man died after his pickup truck was rear-ended at an intersection in Nakhon Nayok province, causing it to veer off the road and flip; his wife, a passenger, was injured.
On May 19, 2025, Deputy Superintendent Ratchapongse Promsawat of Muang Nakhon Nayok Police Station responded to reports of a pickup truck collision resulting in one death and one injury at Hup Moei intersection, Village 6, Hin Tang subdistrict, Muang district, Nakhon Nayok province, heading toward Wang Yai Riverside Road. Emergency responders, rescue teams, and a tow truck were dispatched to the scene.
At the scene, officers found a white Isuzu pickup truck (license plate Nakhon Nayok 8020) that had gone off the road, flipped, and sustained severe damage. One person, later identified as Manoon Kaphueang, 74 years old, was found dead trapped in the vehicle. His wife, who was a passenger, sustained injuries and was transported to Nakhon Nayok Hospital. About 100 meters away, a bronze Isuzu sedan (license plate Nakhon Nayok 9007) was found parked near Hup Moei intersection with damage to the rear driver's side from the collision. No injuries were reported in this vehicle.
According to witness interviews, the deceased's wife reported that her husband had multiple chronic health conditions. That morning, he had taken pomelos to sell at Hup Moei village learning center. After selling his goods, he was driving out of Hup Moei Road to enter Wang Yai Riverside Road when the collision occurred at the four-way intersection. The other pickup truck was traveling from downtown Nakhon Nayok heading toward Khun Dan Prakarchon Dam. The two vehicles collided, and the victim's truck lost control, skidding approximately 100 meters before going off the road and overturning.
Police officers collected evidence and summoned the driver of the other vehicle for detailed questioning at Muang Nakhon Nayok Police Station to proceed with charges.
