He was subsequently referred to Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Hospital and admitted to the intensive care unit. He tried to stop his truck safely at a petrol station but the vehicle hit a motorcycle there. The man was reportedly brought to the Bang Pahan police station at 4.44am and then taken to Bang Pahan Hospital at 5am.
