YouTuber’s van collides with truck, injuring seven in Nakhon Ratchasima
A van carrying the team of a popular YouTuber collided with the rear of a trailer truck, injuring seven people, including the YouTuber’s mother.
The incident occurred yesterday, March 26, at 8.30am, on Mittraphap Road in Nakhon Ratchasima. Police Colonel Ratthawit Anandadilakkrit from Khong Police Station received the report and directed Police Lieutenant Songphon Nimmani to the scene, along with Hook 31 Korat rescue units.
The white van crashed into a 22-wheel trailer truck, causing significant damage to the front of the van and minor damage to the truck’s rear. The van’s driver, 41 year old Jakkrit, was found trapped in the vehicle and had to be extricated using hydraulic equipment.
He sustained injuries to his body, and all seven passengers, including the driver, received initial medical attention before being transported to Phimai Hospital and Khong Hospital.
The truck driver, 50 year old Chalong, explained that he was transporting asphalt from Chon Buri to Khon Kaen. Due to road construction, only one lane was available, requiring reduced speed.
As he drove, he heard a loud noise from behind and realised the van had crashed into his truck. He immediately stopped and called the police and rescue services for assistance.
Police are conducting a thorough investigation of the accident scene and interviewing both drivers to ascertain the exact cause of the crash for legal proceedings, reported KhaoSod.
Meanwhile, Bow Kanyarat, a well-known YouTuber and influencer, posted a message on her social media account.
“This morning, the van used by my team for a shoot out of town was involved in an accident, resulting in several injuries.
“Everyone is now at the hospital, including my mother and a team member in the emergency room. I’ll update everyone with more information as soon as possible. Thank you all for your concern.”
