Seven people have sustained injuries after a minivan carrying Thai tourists slammed into a tree in Mueang Mae Hong Son, northern Thailand.

The Mok Jam Pae Police were notified of the accident on Friday (October 20th) on No. 4001 Road (Pa Peak – Top Sok Road) in Mok Jam Pae. Police and emergency responders arrived at the scene at a road curve 500 meters before the Pa Suea Waterfall.

The damaged minivan had plunged into a tree. Two people including the minivan driver sustained moderate injuries while five others sustained minor injuries. They were all taken to a nearby hospital. Their names were not disclosed by emergency staff.
