A collision between a passenger bus and a truck on a busy motorway resulted in 13 injuries and severe traffic congestion. The incident occurred at 1.25pm today when a bus, carrying approximately 30-40 passengers from Ekkamai to Pattaya, struck a trailer truck.
The accident on the motorway (Highway 7) at the 37.6-kilometer mark towards Map Ta Phut prompted Highway Police from Unit 1, Division 8 of the Highway Patrol, and the Lat Krabang service unit to investigate. They found that the bus had collided with a container truck, causing the truck to overturn and block three left lanes, while the bus obstructed the right lane at the 38-kilometer mark. The resulting traffic backup extended for 4 kilometres.
Emergency services promptly transported the injured to Chularat 7 Hospital and efforts to clear the obstructing vehicles and restore normal traffic flow were underway.
