25 Injured in Employee Bus Collision in Ang Thong
A rear-end collision involving two employee shuttle buses in Ang Thong province resulted in 25 minor injuries on July 23, 2026.
On the morning of July 23, 2026, a traffic accident involving two employee shuttle buses occurred at the Ban It intersection in Ang Thong province. According to reports from Khaosod Online, the incident took place at approximately 06:50 when one bus, which was transporting factory workers from Chaiyo District to Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, was struck from behind by another shuttle bus while stopped at a red light.
Local authorities, including police from the Mueang Ang Thong station and emergency rescue teams, arrived at the scene to assist the passengers. A total of 25 individuals sustained minor injuries and were promptly transported to Ang Thong Vechakar 2 Hospital for medical evaluation and treatment.
For residents and commuters in the area, this incident highlights the importance of road safety and vehicle maintenance, particularly for high-occupancy transport vehicles. While the initial accounts from the drivers suggest a mechanical failure—specifically a rear tire blowout and subsequent brake failure on the striking vehicle—the exact cause of the collision remains under investigation by local police. Travelers passing through the Ban It intersection should remain cautious, as traffic flow may be temporarily affected during the ongoing investigation and cleanup efforts. Further details regarding the mechanical condition of the vehicles involved are expected to be released as the official inquiry progresses.
