Chonburi Banglamung – Chemical powder was scattered on a road today, August 12th, 2019, after a trailer accident.

Huay Yai Police Chief Col Chutidet Jansong was notified of an accident on Baan Pusai Road in Khao Maikaew at about noon today.

Police, The Pattaya News and other media and Sawang Boriboon rescue workers arrived at the scene to find two bags of chemical powder spilled across the road.
