A school director accidentally crashed his sedan into a 56-year-old man and killed him on the spot at 7 AM this morning, March 5th. The driver claimed the victim ran in front of his car.

The tragic accident unfolded on a road leading to Pattaya at the front of Soi Banglamung 1 in the Rong Po sub-district of Banglamung district. The victim, only identified as Mr. Wit, 56, had been crashed into by a sedan while he was crossing the road and passed away due to severe head and body injuries, according to Sawang Boriboon rescuers.
