23 killed and injured in Buri Ram were illegal Lao migrants

Only one person was undergoing the national identification process, Prawit Kiangpol said. So, the department would send the workers who survived back to Laos and would work with anti-human trafficking police to block the smuggling of alien workers into the country, he said.
The death toll from the accident rose to 19 yesterday, as two more succumbed to fatal injuries in Buri Ram Hospital, while four of the five still in hospital remain critical. The pickup truck, carrying 23 workers and one driver, was heading for Ubon Ratchathani when it crashed into a tree.
