Pol Lt Col Kamol Kid-an, told Thai media that witnesses said the car was travelling out of Lampang in the far left lane. It was hit from behind by a speeding Isuzu pickup going in the same direction.

The violent impact drove the car off the road, seriously injuring the car’s driver and killing his wife. She was riding in the front passenger seat of the car.

The rear section of the car was badly crumpled and the front also damaged. Consequently rescuers used a hydraulic jack to force open the wreckage and extract the couple.

The pickup driver, identified only as Sakchai, 25, was taken to Lampang Hospital for a blood test to determine if he was driving under the influence.
