A pickup truck tried to avoid a mudslide on a road in Maha Sarakham’s Kosum Phisai district on Wednesday morning, causing it to block the way of a passenger van and resulting in a fatal crash.
Police said the van driver, Pol Jumna, 46, was killed at the scene after his van crashed into the pickup at full speed near a bridge on a main road in Tambon Kaew Kae in Kosum Phisaiat 7.42am.
Police said the pickup driver, Saneh Kaewsamran, 37, and four van passengers were also injured.
Police said the pickup in the opposite lane swerved to the right to avoid a pile of mud that slid from a mountainside but lost control.
The van was taking passengers from Khon Kaen to Ubon Ratchathani.
