24 year old driver Janepop says he had picked up the consignment for delivery to a customer in Chanthaburi, south east near the Cambodian border.
He told police he noticed some liquid dribbling over his windshield but continued driving not thinking it was a problem. Next he saw smoke pulled over to investigate. Next there were flames so he fled for his life.
Fire fighters took 30 minutes to bring the buring chemicals under control on Sukhumvit Road.
