Cameraman dies in highway crash

The accident took place on the highway at 10.39am. After covering the event, the Channel 5 news crew’s pick-up truck pulled over to record footage of traffic conditions ahead of Songkran when they were rear-ended by a pick-up truck trying to overtake another vehicle on the left. Cameraman Sunet Thawalee, 41, who was in front of the crew’s truck, was crushed against a tree and killed. Seven others were injured. Sunet’s bathing ceremony was held at Wat Suthajinda Worawihan in Muang district yesterday.
