The accident, which prompted police to initially block the section of Rajavithi Road from the Kan Reun intersection to the Sanghi junction, also left the six-wheel truck&rsquo;s driver slightly injured.&nbsp; 
The drivers gave conflicting accounts of what happened, so police took both into custody while the investigation continued.
