A woman was killed and a man seriously injured in Ang Thong early Sunday morning when their sedan collided head-on with a trailer truck.
Deputy inspector Pol Lieutenant Suksan Passawakang said officers and rescue workers were on the scene soon after 1.30am.
The Din intersection in Tambon Phosa, Muang Ang Thong, has a single traffic light blinking at night for vehicles approaching from all directions.
The truck was heavily damaged in front. The Toyota Vios sedan, which also struck a roadside power pole, was wrecked.
Sutthipong Phipak, 40, the car driver, and Napapan Phongkham, 27, were severely injured and taken to hospital, where Napapan was pronounced dead.

Police were investigating further to see if charges were warranted.
