Trailer Truck Overturns onto Electric Vehicle in Chonburi
A trailer truck accident at the Nong Mai Daeng interchange in Chonburi resulted in three injuries after the vehicle overturned onto an electric car.
On August 1, 2026, a serious traffic accident occurred at the Nong Mai Daeng interchange in Mueang Chonburi District, Chonburi Province. According to a report by Khaosod Online, a trailer truck lost control while descending from an overpass, causing it to overturn and crush a green Deepal electric vehicle traveling in the parallel lane. The impact caused significant damage to the electric car, which was reported to have been crushed by half.
Emergency responders from the Trai Khun Tham Foundation and local police arrived at the scene to provide assistance. Three individuals were injured in the incident: two female passengers in the electric vehicle, aged 51 and 34, who reported back and body pain, and the driver of the trailer truck. All three were transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. Dashcam footage from a vehicle following behind captured the moment the trailer lost stability and tipped over onto the car.
For residents and travelers in the area, this incident highlights the risks associated with heavy vehicle traffic near highway interchanges. While the immediate cause appears to be a loss of control by the truck driver, the investigation is ongoing. Authorities have not yet released details regarding potential mechanical failures or road conditions that may have contributed to the accident. Travelers are advised to exercise caution when driving alongside heavy transport vehicles on elevated road sections.
