Pickup Truck Swerves to Avoid Motorcycle, Flips During Songkran Festival Trip; Five Injured
A pickup truck swerved to avoid a motorcycle during Songkran festivities and flipped on its side on an Ayutthaya highway, injuring five male passengers who were trapped inside the vehicle.
A young pickup truck driver heading to Songkran celebrations was forced to swerve when a motorcycle cut in front of him, causing him to lose control, hit a barrier, and flip onto its side. Five male passengers were severely injured, trapped and piled on top of each other inside the vehicle.
On April 26, 2569, Bang Pa-in Police investigators revealed that at 10 p.m. on April 25, they received a report of a flipped pickup truck on Asia Road, southbound lane at kilometer 15 in Ban Krot, Bang Pa-in District, Ayutthaya Province. Rescue teams from the Ayutthaya United Association responded immediately.
At the scene, they found an Isuzu pickup registered in Ayutthaya flipped on its side in the far right lane with severe damage. Inside, five male victims were trapped and compressed against each other. Rescue workers carefully extracted them one by one through the broken windshield before providing first aid and transporting them to Ratchadamnoen Hospital.
According to 20-year-old Werotsorn (surname withheld), one of the injured, the group was traveling from Bang Pa-in District heading to Songkran festivities in Ayutthaya city when a motorcycle suddenly cut in front of them. The driver swerved sharply, causing the truck to lose control and crash into the left barrier, then spin and hit the center barrier on the right before flipping over.
Initial investigation found impact marks on the left barrier with vehicle debris scattered across the road. Investigators believe the truck hit the left barrier, spun, struck the center barrier, and flipped. No other vehicles hit the truck afterward, so there were no fatalities.
Police will conduct further detailed interviews with the injured to determine the exact cause of the accident.
