Muaeng district, Chonburi —
A 50-year-old pickup truck driver plunged into a drainage ditch and died. Rain and a slippery road were attributable to the accident, police told The Pattaya News.
Pol. Lt. Col. Ratchapol Ratchavakan from the Don Hua Lo Police Station and rescue services rushed to a traffic accident scene on Sattaphong – Don Hua Lo Road in the Don Hua Lor subdistrict of Mueang district, Chonburi.
At the accident scene, police found an overturned black Isuzu Mu X pickup truck submerged in a drainage canal. Rescue services then dived in and rescued Mr. Anucha Konggat, 50, who was trapped in a car, drowned, and suffered serious injuries.
The rescue workers attempted to resuscitate the man but failed due to his injuries. His body was transferred to a nearby hospital to await his family and relatives. Police also kept the victim’s property including a gold necklace, a driving license, a wallet, and a lot of amulets to return to his family.
Pol. Lt. Col. Ratchapol said the road was poorly lit, and it was raining at the time of the accident, so the victim may have slipped and lost control of his car, leading to his demise.
