A pick up truck ended up on top of another car in the pile up at traffic lights on Thepkrasatree Rd.

The accident occurred at the Khow Lan intersection at 3.30pm on Friday (Dec 5), bringing traffic to a standstill on the southbound lanes.

“They crashed like dominoes,” said motorcycle rider Namphon Poesing, 20, who was the only person injured in the accident.

Before being taken to Talang Hospital, Ms Namphon said she was at the traffic lights when a car ploughed into the line of waiting vehicles. She was bumped off her motorcycle when it was hit by one of the cars shunted in the pile up.

All five drivers involved were questioned at Thalang Police Station.
