Fatal Hit-and-Run Incident in Buriram Under Investigation
A 22-year-old woman was killed in a hit-and-run accident in Buriram province, with the suspect vehicle later discovered at a local temple.
On October 28, 2026, a 22-year-old woman tragically lost her life in Buriram province after being struck by a speeding sedan. According to Khaosod English, the victim was collecting rice that had been laid out to dry along the roadside when the collision occurred.
Following the incident, a relative of the victim pursued the vehicle, eventually locating it abandoned at a nearby temple. The discovery has prompted local authorities to investigate potential links between the vehicle and a monk who reportedly uses the car on a regular basis.
For residents and travelers in the region, this incident highlights the importance of extreme caution when navigating rural roads, particularly where agricultural activities—such as drying crops—may be taking place near traffic. While the vehicle has been recovered, the identity of the driver at the time of the collision remains unconfirmed. Authorities are currently working to determine who was operating the car during the fatal event. Further updates are expected as the police investigation continues to unfold.
