At 02:00 on October 21, 2026, investigators from Chom Thong Police Station in Chiang Mai received a report of a loud crash at the red-light intersection in Sab Teng Tambon, Chom Thong District. The noise woke nearby residents, who came out to see what had happened.
Police found a closed-bed pickup truck carrying pork from a local company overturned with its front end severely damaged. The male driver managed to crawl out with minor injuries. Nearby, another pickup loaded with longan fruit had its front end wedged against a high-voltage power pole, with longan fruit scattered across the road.
Rescue workers from the Sab Teng Tambon rescue unit, along with a water truck, facilitated traffic flow and washed the fallen longan off the road to prevent further hazards.
During initial questioning, the pork truck driver admitted he had glanced at his phone to check the time for just a moment, causing his vehicle to plow into the rear of the longan truck stopped at the red light. However, investigators will continue a detailed investigation into the cause.
