Seven injured when car crashes into Erawan Shrine's ground

A motorist got a seizure before her car lost control and crashed into the ground of the Erawan Shrine at the Rajprasong Intersection Friday evening, injuring herself and six foreign worshipers, police said.

The accident happened at about 8:20 pm.
Police said the Toyota Soluna, which was driven by Kanuengnit Techoran, 54, lost control and crashed through the sidewalk fence at the intersection before it happened to pass through the gate of the shrine and stopped just before it hit the shrine.
Police said the driver got a seizure and lost control of her car that was apparently being driven at fast speed. Her 20-year-old daughter in the passenger seat was not injured.
Her car hit four women and three men, who were worshiping the shrine. The six are tourists from Taiwan and Hong Kong.
The seven were rushed to the Police Hospital, Chulalongkorn Hospital and Bangkok Christian Hospital.
Police have yet to interrogate the driver before deciding whether to press charges against her.
