One killed, 13 injured in crash on expressway

One person was killed and 13 others injured when a car crashed into the rear of a modified pickup on the Srirat expressway in Bangkok’s Sai Mai district early Saturday.

Police said the accident happened at 5am on the outbound expressway.
The car driver, Wathee Chanplaiphet, 32, and the pickup driver, Nimit Thamoon, 51, were among the injured.
Wathee told police that he was returning home after overtime work and he had dozed off before being woken up by the crash.
Nimit said he had picked up the workers from the Pratunam area to work in Sai Mai. He said the car suddenly hit the rear of his pickup, causing him to lose control. His pickup crashed into the concrete wall of the expressway.
A worker sitting beside Nimit was fatally injured. He died shortly after rescuers arrived at the scene. He has yet to be identified as he had no identification card with him.
