A police and rescue team arrived at the scene and discovered a Toyota upside down inside a small canal beside the road. Police managed to save the driver and send him to hospital, but the passenger, Home Potharik (72) from Chiang Rai, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police believe the car had tried to avoid hitting another car and so swerved off the road and flipped. The men were on their way home from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai.
