Pattaya: A trailer truck lost control and veered off the road on Motorway 7, kilometer 87, near the Khao Kheow Butterfly Garden bridge, heading towards Pattaya-Rayong. The incident left the truck overturned with its wheels pointing skyward, causing a significant disruption to traffic and leaving one person with minor injuries.
According to Thai News Agency, the 18-wheeler truck's sudden loss of control resulted in a major obstruction on the motorway, particularly affecting the left lane. The unexpected incident led to heavy and slow-moving traffic as authorities worked to manage the situation. Highway patrol officers were present at the scene to provide assistance and ensure traffic was directed efficiently, with efforts underway to clear the blockage.
Authorities anticipate that normal traffic conditions will resume before noon as they continue their work to remove the overturned vehicle and restore order on the busy motorway.
