A car accident caused by a couple arguing resulted in the death of both parents and injuries to their two children, who were travelling with them, police said.
Their white sedan crashed into a power pole on Suk Prayun road in Phan Thong district, Chonburi province, on Sunday night.
The husband, Siraphop, and wife, Natchareeya, both aged 41, were killed. Two children were found injured in the backseat, emergency responders reported.
A pickup truck parked nearby had rear-end damage and was believed to have been hit by the sedan.
The two children told rescuers their parents had been arguing loudly before the crash. Their father was driving. Their mother had suddenly grabbed and pulled on the handbrake and the car spun out of control. It hit the parked pickup and then a power pole beside the road.
Their full names were not released, to protect the children. The police investigation was continuing.
