Six people were seriously injured when a pick-up truck crashed into the rear of a van that was slowing down as it was approaching an overturned truck.
Police said the accident happened at 2.30am on the Chon Buri-bound lanes of the expressway in Tambon Homsilp of Chachoengsao’s Bang Pakong district.
The van was chartered to take a group of young men to Lop Buri for the annual military conscripting process.
Four men in the van sustained serious injuries and were taken to Chularat Hospital. Nine others were slightly injured.
Somboon Klinhuan, 49, said he spotted the overturned pick-up truck so he slowed down and was hit from behind by the pick-up.
The pick-up that hit the van was driven by Poolsak Suebsunthorn, 30. He and his wife were injured and taken to the same hospital.
As ever, it would appear that speed was the cause of the accident and we hope all the casualties make a full and speedy recovery
