Eight British tourists were injured, three of them seriously, when the van they were travelling in crashed into the median railing on the Bangkok-Chon Buri motorway on Tuesday morning.

The accident occurred about 10.30 am between kilometre markers 118-119 on the Pattaya-bound side of the motorway in Bang Lamung district.
