That’s what happened on Saturday afternoon opposite the Muang Mai marketplace on Thepkrassattri Rd.
Witnesses told police that an Isuzu pick-up truck was moving fast along the road when the truck made a U-turn in its way. The Isuzu smashed into the trailer, crushing the front end and badly injuring the driver, Ken Patan, 19, of Srisoonthorn. The 18-wheeler driver promptly drove away.
Police notified the Tah Chat Chai checkpoint hoping to intercept him but with no result. It was later reported that the trailer had been found abandoned near the Airport Rd intersection. So far the driver of the truck has not been apprehended.
