A couple’s one year old son died and three family members were injured after a car slammed into the bedroom on the lower floor in the main city district of Pathum Thani early Saturday. The incident happened in Tambon Ban Mai around 2.30am. Pathum Thani is the province just north of Bangkok.

The family, along with relatives upstairs, were all asleep when the incident happened.

A locally registered Honda sedan had ploughed into the bedroom on the lower floor. The 46 and 38 year old parents, and their 3 year old daughter, sustained bruises and were taken to the local hospital.

But their one year old son perished on the spot as a result of injuries sustained when the car rammed into the room he was sleeping.

A 17 year old son of the couple revealed that there were six family members inside the house when the incident happened. He says his aunt and uncle were sleeping upstairs whilst the rest of the family were sleeping downstairs in the room the car slammed into.

The 33 year old driver suffered broken legs and arms and was trapped inside the sedan when emergency responders arrived. Bottles of alcohol and empty beer cans were strewn around inside his car.

Police are waiting for doctors to give the driver the ‘all clear’ so they can question him about the incident and will bring charges against him.
