Samut Prakan —
A 22-wheeled truck caused a 16-vehicle pileup on the Kanchanaphisek Expressway in Samut Prakan province, leaving 17 people injured.
The accident took place about 5:00 PM on September 22nd at the Bang Phli-Suksawat section of the Kanchanaphisek Expressway. Following a report of the accident, the rescue team coordinated with expressway officials and hospital emergency teams to rush to the scene.
Upon arrival, it was found that over 16 vehicles, including cars, pickup trucks, delivery trucks, and a gas truck, were involved in the crash, which had been caused by a 22-wheeled truck. A total of 17 people were injured.
Rescue teams and hospital officials provided initial first aid before transporting all the injured to nearby hospitals. Authorities had to close the affected section of the road for over an hour to aid the injured and remove vehicles, which had resulted in several kilometers of traffic congestion toward Pak Nam and Bang Na. Authorities were able to reopen some lanes after one and a half hours.
One of the drivers involved stated that before the accident, the traffic had been flowing smoothly. When he reached the incident area, the traffic began to slow, so he gradually followed the traffic.
The driver then heard screeching brakes from behind, followed by vehicles bumping into his car. When he turned to look, he saw that a massive truck had crashed into several vehicles, causing some of them to flip over.
Police plan to interview all injured parties, especially the driver of the truck, before deciding on legal charges.
