A speeding sedan slammed into the rear of a parked six-wheel truck, crushing the car's front end and killing a 28-year-old debt collector instantly. No brake marks were found on the road.

At 2:00 PM on November 10, 2026, Pol. Lt. Col. Phanphat Setbupfa, investigator at Bang Bua Thong Police Station in Nonthaburi, was notified of a sedan rear-ending a six-wheel truck under the elevated Highway 345 overpass heading toward Pathum Thani in Laharn subdistrict, Bang Bua Thong district, Nonthaburi, resulting in one death. Forensic doctors from the Institute of Forensic Science and Ruamkatanyu Foundation rescuers went to investigate.

At the scene, a white Hino six-wheel truck (license 82-1287 Pathum Thani) was parked on the shoulder with a bronze Toyota Vios (license 5Kor 4849 Bangkok) having crashed heavily into its rear, the front completely crushed. Inside the car, the deceased driver was identified as Thirawat Thongkhamdee, 28, a debt collector for a company. The injured passenger, Sittipong, 21, was taken to Krungthai Western Hospital Bang Bua Thong.

The truck driver, Nares, 40, said he had driven from Nakhon Nayok to deliver goods to Nakhon Pathom and was returning. He parked on the shoulder at the crash site, got out to buy a boxed lunch nearby, and had only taken a couple of bites after returning to his cab when the sedan smashed into the back of his truck, pushing it forward more than 10 meters with no sign of braking.

Relatives of the deceased said Thirawat had been traveling to Suphan Buri and was driving back to his office in Pathum Thani when the accident occurred. Police documented the scene before sending the body to the Institute of Forensic Medicine to determine the exact cause of death.

Prachachat Leader Urges Elected Governors for Deep South

Prachachat Party leader Pol. Lt. Col. Thawi Sodsong has proposed electing governors for Thailand's three southern border provinces or restructuring the Southern Border Provinces Administrative Center to achieve lasting peace. The former SBPAC secretary-general argues decentralization is essential because the region's distinct identity and demand for self-governance cannot be addressed through centralized rule. His suggestions come amid ongoing violence, including a November 9 security operation in Yala that killed a wanted suspect, which analysts say undermines peace efforts.
