The van, carrying 14 teachers and the driver from Bangkok’s Koom Klao Scholar School, was traveling back from a seminar in Rayong province when the NGV-powered vehicle hit the barrier at around 9pm.
Police are investigating the cause of the accident; however, they suspect the van got a flat tire and lost control, Lt. Col. Supakit Ko-ngam of the regional highway police said.
