Woman Killed After Being Struck by Two Vehicles in Chalong

A woman from Myanmar was killed in a road accident involving two vehicles in Chalong on the evening of October 27. She was crossing the road when a pickup truck struck her, throwing her into the path of an oncoming SUV.

According to the police report, the accident occurred between 9pm and 10pm in front of a SuperCheap store on Chaofa East Road, south of Robinson Chalong shopping centre. Police used CCTV footage to reconstruct the events leading up to the collision.

The footage reportedly showed the woman standing in the middle of the road, waiting for an opportunity to cross. A Toyota pickup with an enclosed cargo bed, travelling from Phuket Town towards Chalong Circle, then struck her.

The impact threw the woman beneath an oncoming Chery V23 SUV. Her injuries proved fatal, and police officers arriving at the scene found her body underneath the Chery.

The SUV was driven by Satchakan Phiman, while Kritthawit Changkhwan was behind the wheel of the Toyota pickup.

Both vehicles were taken to Chalong Police Station as part of the ongoing investigation. The victim’s body was transferred to Vachira Phuket Hospital for a forensic examination.

The woman’s name and age had not been established at the time of the initial report. Police had not announced whether charges would be brought against either driver.
