Driver Thavorn Noppawan, 64, remained at the market in Bang Krathum district until police arrived, but it remains unclear why he lost control and swerved into the crowd of shoppers. 
Police suspect he might have fallen asleep at the wheel. 
Samarn Luenfa, 49, was killed and Boonruang Boonnamsaeng, 60, was injured.
The truck also brought down two electricity poles and damaged 11 other vehicles, including a six-wheel truck and eight pickups.
