Ban Bueng –
A 48-year-old male driver has been pronounced dead at the scene while a passenger has sustained serious injuries after a pickup truck crashed into a power pole in the Ban Bueng district this morning, October 28th, 2021.
Emergency responders were notified of the accident on the Nong Chark – Nernmok Road in the Nong Chark sub-district.

A passenger, Mr. Peerapon Sapsawang, 33, was stuck inside the pickup truck.

Peerapon remained at a hospital as of this afternoon and Ban Bueng police had no statements when asked if any legal charges could apply in regards to the accident.
