Korat-
The Roi-Et Public Health Office has clarified tonight that passengers in a Korat tour bus accident in which seven people were killed while 33 people sustained various injuries were not village health volunteers as originally reported by multiple Thai media sources.
At least seven people were killed while 33 people sustained various injuries when a bus they were traveling in from Roi-Et to Pattaya crashed into a trailer truck in Korat early this morning (September 26).

Meanwhile, this afternoon, Hook 31 Korat Rescue reported that they were notified from the Roi-Et Public Health Office that the people who were killed and injured in the accident were not village health volunteers as originally reported.
They were local residents in a village who were traveling by themselves. None of them were village health volunteers, according to the report.
The Pattaya News notes that the Thai government recently launched a tourism program which is aimed to reward medical personnel and public health volunteers who have fought against the COVID-19 pandemic which is why some media sources incorrectly stated the passengers as volunteers.
