Trailer Truck Crash Kills Street Vendor Near Bank in Prachinburi
A 60-year-old street vendor was killed when a trailer truck crashed into vehicles and a bank in Prachinburi province, leaving three dead and multiple injured. Her daughter arrived at the scene to perform Buddhist rites, devastated that she missed celebrating her mother's upcoming birthday and introducing her newborn grandchild. The victim had sold glasses at the location daily for years.
A daughter was shattered to learn her mother had died in a trailer truck crash just days before her birthday. The 60-year-old vendor, who sold glasses and wallets near a Kasikornbank branch, was among multiple fatalities when a container truck lost control and plowed into parked vehicles, sparking a fire. The daughter had planned to visit this weekend to celebrate her mother's birthday and introduce her newborn grandchild.
On the afternoon of November 14, 2026, Kanistha (surname withheld), 30, daughter of Thaworn (surname withheld), 60, one of the victims, arrived with relatives and monks to perform Buddhist rites at the accident site. The atmosphere was heavy with grief and tears. The crash occurred on Highway 33 Suwannasorn in front of the Kasikornbank Prachantakham branch in Prachantakham district, Prachinburi province.
After authorities cleared the wreckage, debris and the victim's selling equipment remained at the scene, deepening the family's sorrow. An ATM card was also found still inserted in the bank's ATM machine.
Kanistha, weeping, said her mother had sold glasses at that bank location daily for two to three years. She would park her motorcycle at the train station and commute from Samphanta subdistrict, Nadi district, Prachinburi.
Kanistha learned of the accident from a phone call while she and her sister were working in Bangkok. Both had planned to travel Saturday morning, November 14, to celebrate their mother's birthday on Tuesday, November 17, and help register their newborn niece at their mother's address.
"Mother told us to visit Saturday through Monday because Friday was her selling day. She even joked with my sister that if we came Friday we wouldn't find her. I want to tell her how much I miss her. We last spoke yesterday at 1:30 p.m. when she called my sister, but my sister was busy and couldn't answer. When she called back, Mother didn't pick up," Kanistha said, voice trembling.
Funeral rites for Thaworn will continue through November 16. Kanistha appealed to drivers and vehicle owners to prevent such tragedies, saying the pain is indescribable.
