Pick-up loses control killing Khon Kaen driver
A man died when he wrapped his pickup truck around a lamp post in Kathu early on Wednesday morning.
Kathu police said they received a report at 1.35am about a car crash in Phra Phuket Kaew Road.
Police officers and a Kusoltham Phuket Foundation rescue team rushed to the scene and found a bronze pick-up truck wrapped around a lamp post in the middle of the road, near the coconut plantation curve heading east towards the Samkong Underpass intersection.
Inside the vehicle, officers found the body of the driver, Amnat Sittisuk, 31, from Khon Kaen province. His body was sent to Vachira Hospital for an autopsy.
According to an initial investigation, Amnat drove the pick-up at high speed from Kathu heading to Phuket town. He appears to have lost control of his vehicle while negotiating the curve, smashing into the lamp post, killing him instantly.
