Very early this morning, on Chanthaburi’s Highway 317, a pickup truck collided with a commuter van and left six people dead.
Three passengers along with the driver from the van were pronounced dead shortly after the crash, as well as the driver and another passenger from the pickup truck.
Police were informed by eyewitnesses that, while the pickup truck was driving in one lane, the van came over the traffic divider from the opposing lane, causing the vehicles to crash.
Thai PBS reported that the van had been rented by migrant workers on their way to Chanthaburi to have their visas extended.
In total, 11 people were injured and admitted to the hospital.
