A bus bound for Surat Thani rammed into a pick-up truck in Prachuap Khiri Khan’s Muang district early Tuesday afternoon, injuring 15 people.
The Chok Anand Tour bus left the province's southern bus terminal at 9.30am, via the Phetkasem Road.
The accident occurred when a pick-up truck suddenly pulled out and attempted to make a U-turn in front of the vehicle.
The bus driver, Kasemwit Sunthorn, 57, said he was unable to slow down in time to stop the bus from ramming into the truck.
The driver of the truck was identified as Chana Chuwongwal, an officer from the Royal Thai Air Force, Wing 5 in Prachuap Khiri Khan.
The bus and the pickup truck crashed into a roadside ditch. Both drivers escaped injury but a total of 15 people on the bus were injured in the collision.
