Six people were killed and 38 others injured when a passenger bus crashed head-on with an 18-wheel trailer truck in Kamphaeng Phet early Tuesday.
Police said the accident happened at 2:30 am on the inbound Phaholyothin Road in Klong Klung district.
Police said the bus was tasking passengers from Rayong to Mae Sot, Tak. Police said the bus was apparently trying to overtake a vehicle but the bus’s speed was limited so it could not avoid the truck on the opposite lane.
Wasant Chaithong, 50, the second bus driver who was behind the wheet at the time of the accident, was among the six killed. Among the injured, 18 were seriously hurt.
