Two injured, one dead as pick-up truck crashes into parked cars
A race between a pick-up truck and motorbike resulted in a fatal crash and damage to nine cars parked outside a building where the owners were attending a funeral service. Three people were severely injured in the smash, with one woman later dying in hospital
Policies were notified at 7pm on Saturday (October 14) that a pickup truck had smashed into a line of vehicles parked on the side of the Nakhon Si Thammarat-Songkhla road, causing significant damage to three sedans and 5 pick-ups and resulting in one vehicle, a Chevrolet sedan, catching fire. Debris was scattered as far as 100 metres from the scene.
Witnesses and people attending the funeral said that a big bike and a black pick-up truck seemed to be involved in a chase. The big bike slowed down as it passed the funeral party but the black pick-up was unable to stop and smashed into the vehicles.
Police have yet to say who was driving the black Mitsubishi pickup truck or identify the car in which the victims were sitting. The investigation is ongoing,
