Tuesday, May 14, 2024 - A 35-year-old African man identified as Daniel was burnt to death in a car accident in Bangkok, Thailand.
Bangkok’s Prawet Police Station, confirmed the identity of
the Nigerian national in a statement on Tuesday, May 14, 2024
Daniel, whose Thai wife came to confirm his identity with the
police, died on Saturday, May 11, when his car crashed into a road median and
caught fire.
This serious road accident occurred at 5:30 a.m. on a
three-lane road near Soi Phatthanakan 53/1, Suan Luang Subdistrict and
District, Bangkok.
When officials received the report and arrived at the scene,
they found a gray Toyota Vios with Samut Prakan province license plates
overturned and engulfed in flames, blocking the middle of the road.
The officers spent about 10 minutes spraying water to
extinguish the fire, but the car was completely damaged by the flames.
At that time, rescuers had to use cutting and prying
equipment to remove the driver’s body from the wreckage and send it to the
Police Hospital for an autopsy. They found a document with a front-facing photo
of a foreign man.
Eyewitnesses stated that they saw the car driving at high
speed in the far right lane before losing control and crashing into the road
median.
The car spun and hit a palm tree with such force that it
flipped over and ended up on its roof in the middle of the road.
At that moment, good Samaritans tried to pry open the door to help the unconscious driver, but before they could pull him out, sparks ignited, and the car quickly caught fire.
