Seven Injured in Collision Between Pickup Truck and Six-Wheeler in Chanthaburi

On the morning of September 21, 2026, a significant traffic accident occurred in the Bang Kachai sub-district of Laem Sing, Chanthaburi. According to reports from Khaosod Online, local police were alerted at approximately 9:00 AM to a collision involving a pickup truck and a six-wheeled truck carrying steel forms.

Preliminary investigations, supported by local CCTV footage, indicate that the six-wheeled vehicle was slowing down to turn into a side street when the pickup truck attempted to overtake it on the right. The pickup truck failed to clear the maneuver, resulting in a collision that caused the six-wheeler to overturn on the roadside. The impact scattered the cargo of steel forms across the road surface. The pickup truck, which was modified with a rear frame for transporting materials such as PVC pipes and pond liners, sustained severe front-end damage.

Emergency responders from the Sawang Katanyu Thammasathan Foundation and local officials arrived at the scene to provide first aid to seven injured individuals found both inside the vehicles and scattered on the road. For residents and travelers in the area, this incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with overtaking heavy vehicles near intersections. Authorities are currently reviewing the evidence to determine if further legal action is required. The full extent of the injuries and the specific cause of the failed overtake remain under official investigation.
