Bangkok Taxi Crashes 3 Illegal Cambodian Workers Injured in Sattahip

Sattahip Police and rescue workers were called to attend a serious road accident in their district involving multiple casualties. At the scene on Route 344 the highway from Chonburi - Baan Bung they found a yellow and green Bangkok taxi overturned in the bushes at the side of the highway. There were signs of devastation on the path to where the taxi ended up. Poles, signs and other debris was everywhere.

Three Cambodians in the taxi were injured and were treated on scene and then transported to hospital for further emergency treatment.

The driver Khun Somchai aged 42 had received minor injuries. He told the police that he had been hired to drive the Cambodians from Samrong in Samut Prakarn Province near Bangkok to their destination in Baan Bung. He said that a pick-up truck had cut him off and he had tried to avoid it. His taxi then left the highway, careered out of a control and smashed into a light pole before ending up upside down.

It turns out that the Cambodians were illegal migrant workers and were being transported to another work location. It's unsure whether they will face deportation when they recover or whether Khun Somchai will face charges for his role in their transportation.
