The storefront’s glass was shattered, and the car was severely damaged inside the shop. Two individuals were injured: Mr. Katiphot, the 38-year-old driver, and Mr. Piyaboot, 42, who sustained minor injuries. Rescue workers administered first aid before transporting them to the hospital. A third individual, Mr. Thosaphon, 40, later arrived, claiming to be another driver involved in the incident.
CCTV footage from the area captured the vehicle speeding before losing control and crashing into the store. Nongprue police reported that the driver of the Subaru claimed unfamiliarity with the road as the cause of the accident. Authorities plan to conduct a blood alcohol test to investigate further.
