Crushed by his own tuk-tuk
A tuk-tuk driver was crushed to death by his own vehicle after a six-wheel truck crashed into him on Rama II Road in Samut Songkhram's Muang district on Friday morning.
The 11am crash sent 60-year-old Winai Sae-jiew flying out of the vehicle into a flooded roadside only for him to be crushed by his own vehicle that plunged into the ditch after him.
His passenger, an unnamed elderly person, was rushed to Somdetphraphutthalertla Hospital.
Later in the afternoon, Lop Buri woman Phanit Thepakorn, 39, went to police in Muang Samut Songkhram with insurance company representatives and reported that that she was the truck driver involved in the accident.
Phanit said she had been on the way from Bangkok to pick up workers from Phetchaburi province when the tuk-tuk suddenly cut in front of her and she couldn't break in time.
She said she had driven away in shock before calling her supervisors and insurance company and reporting to police.
