Bus and Car Collision on Mittraphap Road Results in Multiple Injuries
A double-decker bus and a passenger car crashed into the median ditch on Mittraphap Road in Nakhon Ratchasima early Tuesday morning, leaving several passengers injured.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, a traffic accident occurred at approximately 2:30 AM on July 29, 2026, on the inbound side of Mittraphap Road at kilometer marker 40 in the Klang Dong sub-district of Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima.
Police investigators from the Klang Dong station reported that a passenger car, while traveling through heavy rain, lost control and collided with a double-decker bus. The impact caused both vehicles to veer off the road and land in the central median ditch. The bus was reportedly transporting passengers to the Ubon Ratchathani Candle Festival. Emergency responders, including local rescue teams and medical personnel from Pak Chong Nana Hospital, arrived at the scene to assist. Approximately seven passengers were extracted from the bus and transported to Pak Chong Nana Hospital for medical treatment.
For travelers and residents, this incident highlights the risks of driving on major highways during Thailand’s rainy season, where slick road conditions can lead to sudden loss of vehicle control. While the immediate rescue operation has concluded, the investigation into the specific cause of the collision remains ongoing. Authorities have not yet released full details regarding the condition of the injured or the final determination of fault for the accident.
