The driver of the truck, Suchart Sinma, 30, told police that he was heading along Srisoonthorn Rd toward the Heroines monument when the crash took place.

“I swerved to avoid a head-on collision with another truck coming the other way. But I hit a parked pickup truck, which caused a domino effect,” he said. By domino effect he was referring to a motorbike the pickup truck was cannoned into.

He was taken to Thalang Police Station and charged with reckless driving.
