Luxury McLaren Supercar Involved in Multi-Vehicle Collision in Pathum Thani
A McLaren 650S valued at over 20 million baht was damaged in a three-vehicle crash on Phahonyothin Road following heavy rainfall.
On September 18, 2026, heavy rainfall across Bangkok, Nonthaburi, and Pathum Thani led to widespread traffic congestion and localized flooding. According to reports from Khaosod Online and JS100 Radio, these adverse weather conditions contributed to multiple traffic accidents in the region.
One notable incident occurred on the outbound lanes of Phahonyothin Road, shortly after passing Bangkok University in Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani. A three-vehicle collision involved a luxury McLaren 650S supercar, estimated to be worth over 20 million baht, which sustained rear-end damage. The other vehicles involved in the crash included a truck.
Authorities have since cleared the scene, and traffic flow has been restored. For residents and travelers, this incident serves as a reminder of the increased risks associated with driving on Thai roads during the monsoon season, when slick surfaces and reduced visibility frequently lead to accidents. While the immediate obstruction has been removed, details regarding the specific cause of the collision and the extent of the liability remain to be confirmed by local law enforcement. Motorists are advised to exercise caution and maintain increased following distances during heavy downpours.
