The incident occurred about 2am near a bridge on Trang-Khlong Teng road in Muang district. Four volunteers of Tambon Khlong Teng Municipality and Khlong Teng police rushed to the bridge after hearing a man had been injured after a motorcycle he was riding crashed. Three rescue volunteers --Tawanchai Chanduang, 17, Thanakorn Khongtung, 17, and Prathuang Sangmuang, 38 -- were killed on the spot. Chuan Poladet, the mayor of Tambon Khlong Teng Municipality, said the volunteers had worked for the municipality without a salary. A funeral rite for the four volunteers is being held at Wat Sithichairangsan temple (Wat Khlong Teng) in Muang district.
