The 41-year-old truck driver Phian Srijaroen was arrested over charges of negligent manslaughter.
Phian reportedly said he was driving from Saraburi to deliver construction materials to a customer in Soi Suwintawong 18.
“Before the accident I noticed that the air brake only had 6 per cent of pressure left, while the primary brake which uses oil has been out of order,” he said. “As I approached the intersection, I applied the brake but lost control of the truck and hit other cars before climbing onto the Toyota Corona.”
Police are interviewing witnesses and reviewing CCTV footage to determine the cause of accident.
