SUPHAN BURI — 22 June 2026, A trailer truck carrying eucalyptus logs lost control near a traffic-light intersection in Dan Chang district on Monday, spilling its load onto the road and damaging several vehicles while leaving one person injured.
Police in Dan Chang were notified of the incident at the district clock tower intersection. The trailer, registered in Nakhon Pathom, was transporting eucalyptus logs from Ban Rai district, Uthai Thani, to Ratchaburi when the accident occurred.
According to preliminary findings, the driver experienced a mechanical problem and was unable to control the vehicle as it approached the red-light intersection, where several vehicles were stopped ahead. To avoid a potentially serious collision, the driver steered sharply to the left.
The maneuver caused the fully loaded eucalyptus logs to spill across the opposite side of the road, striking vehicles waiting at the traffic light. The truck eventually came to a stop near Dan Chang Hospital, about one kilometre from the scene.
Authorities said four cars and one motorcycle were damaged, while one person sustained injuries.
A witness said he was buying durian near the intersection when he heard the truck repeatedly sounding its horn. He then saw the vehicle approaching at speed before swerving left toward the road leading to Sam Chuk district.
“The logs fell onto several vehicles waiting at the traffic light on the opposite side. People rushed in to help the injured,” the witness said.
Police are continuing to question the driver to determine the exact cause of the incident. Road officials have cleared the area and reopened traffic, while the injured victim was taken to Dan Chang Hospital for treatment.
