A Chiang Mai University assistant nurse tragically died after being struck by a vehicle while attempting to provide aid at a road accident scene.

According to a report by Matichon Online, a tragic incident occurred at the Don Chan Bridge in Chiang Mai, resulting in the death of an assistant nurse from Chiang Mai University. The victim was reportedly struck by a vehicle while she was actively attempting to provide emergency assistance to individuals involved in a prior road accident at the location. The university has expressed its deep condolences regarding the loss of the staff member. For residents and travelers in Thailand, this incident serves as a somber reminder of the significant risks associated with stopping at the scene of road accidents, particularly on high-speed bridges or busy thoroughfares where visibility and traffic flow can pose extreme dangers to bystanders and first responders. While the immediate details of the collision have been reported, authorities have not yet released comprehensive information regarding the driver involved or the specific circumstances that led to the secondary impact. Further investigations are expected to clarify the sequence of events and determine if any legal actions will be taken against the parties involved in the collision. Travelers are advised to prioritize their own safety and contact professional emergency services by dialing 1669 rather than attempting to intervene in traffic accidents personally.
