Arriving at the scene, they found an overturned silver pickup near the median island. Searching the vehicle, they found a female passenger in the front seat, likely killed on impact. The driver, unconscious and in critical condition, was rushed to the hospital. He was later identified as Prakob Charoenrung, age 45.

Witnesses said the pickup was making a U-turn at the intersection near the expressway when a truck, traveling at high speed, skidded and rammed into the pickup. Police believe the accident was the result of slippery roads due to heavy rain that afternoon, causing the truck driver to lose control of his vehicle.
