On the afternoon of October 1, a bus transporting 38 students and 6 teachers from Wat Khao Praya Sangkharam School in Lan Sak District, Uthai Thani Province, experienced a tire blowout on the front left side. This led the driver to lose control, crashing into
Thai authorities reported that the tire caught fire, which ignited the compressed natural gas fuel tank, resulting in flames rapidly spreading from the front of the bus into the passenger area.
The bus driver, Samarn Chankut, attempted to extinguish the fire but fled the scene shortly after and turned off his mobile phone, according to Police Commander Kittirat Phunphet. It is believed that Samarn initially sought refuge in Ang Thong but later turned himself in to the police on the night of October 1.
Samarn is currently being held at the Khot District Police Station in Pathum Thani. Commander Phunphet criticized the driver’s actions, deeming his escape irresponsible and inhumane, especially considering that many children required assistance inside the bus.
