Duty officer Pol Capt Damrong Thonglob said the accident occurred about 8.30pm on a newly built section of Highway 33. The section of Highway 33 had not been opened to traffic.

The pickup, a Toyota Vigo, plunged into a dry roadside canal. The driver was found lying dead near the vehicle. He was later identified as Mr. Chalerm Saenthirak, 47.

One of the passengers, Mr Komkrit Tanchai, 37, was thrown out of the vehicle, and suffered minor injuries. The other passenger, identified only as Ae, was trapped inside the pickup and was seriously injured.

The injured passengers were rushed to Chao Phraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital for treatment.

Mr Komkrit told police they all worked at a hardware store in Prachin Buri, and were returning to their homes.

As they neared Dong Yang Nai village, the driver swerved to the left to avoid an oncoming motorcycle. The pickup ran off the road and rolled over several times before coming to a stop in the roadside drainage canal.
