Key summary

A Mitsubishi Pajero registered in Bangkok flipped and crashed into a light pole on October 25, 2026, at approximately 08:30 local time on the ROPH. road in Mueang district, Chachoengsao province. The driver, Sarasak (surname withheld), aged 32, stated he was driving with a construction worker friend from Wat Nam Daeng to Bangkok for work. While overtaking a vehicle ahead on the right, an oncoming car appeared, forcing him to swerve sharply. The loss of control caused the vehicle to roll over and strike a roadside light pole.

Witnesses and villagers helped right the overturned vehicle to rescue the trapped occupants before Chachoengsao Rescue Unit personnel arrived for first aid.

Police will retain the vehicle at the station for further legal proceedings.
