Road Collapse at Fae Chao Intersection: Motorcycle Rider Injured, Emergency Crews Clear Area
A sinkhole at Bangkok's Fae Chao intersection injured a motorcycle rider on May 9th; authorities are repairing the road while urging drivers to avoid the area due to congestion.
A road collapse in central Bangkok injured one person on May 9th at 3:16 PM. The Bangkhunnonth Fire and Rescue Station responded to the incident at the Fae Chao intersection on Charoen Sanitwong Road in Bang Kho Laem district, Bangkok. Initial inspection found a sinkhole approximately 1 meter deep and 5 meters long, which resulted in one injury. Authorities provided first aid at the scene, though the injured person refused hospital treatment.
The road remains passable but traffic is unusually congested, particularly at the Bromratchonnani intersection and the tunnel toward Bang Khun Non. Officials are actively inspecting and repairing the collapsed section to prevent further dangers to motorists. Authorities recommend that residents avoid this route if possible and allow extra travel time this evening.
