Pattaya bus crash on Bang NaTrat kills two

A Bangkokbound public bus crashed into a pillar on Bang NaTrat Expressway Friday morning, claiming two lives and injuring 27 passengers. Bus driver Kitisak Piswong, 51, and a female passenger were killed instantly.
Of the 27 injured, six were in serious condition last night. The bus, with several foreigners on board, was heading for Bangkok from Pattaya in Chon Buri province. Initial investigation suggested that the bus driver might have been speeding and had to swerve suddenly to avoid another vehicle, which forced the crash. The bus was totalled in the accident.
