Police said the accident occurred at kilometer markers 306-307 on Phaholyothin Highway in tambon Muang Hak, when the Nakhon Ratchasima-registered bus carrying nine British, German, Russian and Danish nationals was making a right-turn at a T-junction, heading to Kanchanaburi province.

Police said four of the five people on board the pickup died instantly in the devastating crash. The victims, three men and a woman, were driver Suthep Thongtham, Somboon Jamnark, Amorn Inthara and Benjapa Ruangthong.

Emergency response crews used cutting tools to pull the injured survivor, whose name was not released, and the four bodies from the wreckage of the pickup. Two foreign tourists on the bus sustained minor injuries.
