At around 1.30 p.m. Doi Saket Police Station received a call saying there had been an accident on the Chiang Mai – Chiang Rai Road and many people were injured.

The police arrived with a rescue team at the accident spot and found a bus, property of the Chai Pattanakij Transport (Green Bus) company that had collided with a Toyota pick-up that belonged to the Wattanasil Company.
