31 year old man dies in Isuzu MU-X crash at Sakorn Kasem
A tragic incident occurred in the early hours of this morning when a 31 year old man driving an Isuzu MU-X crashed into a barrier at the Sakorn Kasem intersection, resulting in his death.
The accident took place at 4am today, January 6, with investigators suspecting that the driver might have encountered something unexpected, causing him to brake forcefully but ultimately lose control.
Police officer Worawut Piamsamut from Krathum Baen Police Station received a report about the accident beneath the flyover at the Sakorn Kasem intersection, where Phetkasem Road meets Phutthamonthon Sai 4 Road in Om Noi, Krathum Baen district, Samut Sakhon.
Upon arrival, alongside medical personnel from Krathum Baen Hospital and volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation, they discovered an Isuzu MU-X registered in Songkhla.
The vehicle was positioned across the road at the curve leading from Phetkasem Road to Phutthamonthon Sai 4 Road. Inside the car, they found the driver deceased, identified as 31 year old Thoranin.
The forceful braking marks were evident on the road, indicating an encounter with an obstacle, and the front of the vehicle was severely damaged, with the radiator shattered and wheels detached. The barrier in the middle of Phetkasem Road, separating the inbound and outbound lanes to Bangkok, was also broken due to the impact.
Initial investigations suggest that the deceased was driving from Phutthasakhon Road, intending to return home in the Nong Khaem area via Phetkasem Road. Instead of crossing the Sakorn Kasem flyover, the driver veered onto the parallel road to make a U-turn on Phetkasem Road.
It is suspected that something prompted the driver to brake suddenly, leaving marks on the road, but he was unable to regain control, leading to a fatal collision with the barrier.
Eyewitnesses were absent since the driver was alone in the vehicle, having departed from an entertainment venue and headed home. Relatives of the deceased confirmed this but no one witnessed the exact cause of the accident. Police plan to review CCTV footage from the area to determine the precise cause of the incident, reported KhaoSod.
Following the initial autopsy, the body was sent to Siriraj Hospital’s forensic institute for further examination. Once completed, the deceased’s body will be returned to the family for religious rites.
