An 18-wheeler truck carrying stone overturned at a roundabout in Chonburi, leaving two people critically injured and trapped inside the vehicle.
On October 22, 2026, an 18-wheeler truck loaded with crushed stone overturned at the KM.10 market roundabout in Phlu Ta Luang, Sattahip, Chonburi. According to reports from Khaosod Online, the incident occurred as the vehicle was navigating the curve at high speed, causing it to lose stability and flip onto its side.
Emergency responders, including medical teams from Queen Sirikit Hospital and local rescue foundations, were dispatched to the scene. They found two individuals—a man and a woman—trapped inside the cabin with serious injuries. Rescue workers utilized hydraulic cutting equipment to extract the victims from the wreckage before transporting them to the hospital for urgent medical care.
CCTV footage captured the moment the truck lost control while entering the roundabout. For residents and travelers in the area, this incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with heavy vehicle traffic on winding roads and roundabouts. While the immediate rescue operation was successful, authorities are expected to conduct a formal investigation into the exact cause of the accident, including whether mechanical failure or driver error contributed to the loss of control. Further updates regarding the condition of the victims and the final police report are pending.
