An accident occurred. "Giant steel plate" fell on a trailer driver, killing him at a construction site. His wife is deeply saddened, crying over the loss of the family's main pillar.
At 11:00 on 27 July 2026, police officers from Nong Suea Police Station, along with volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, were notified of an accident where a large steel plate fell on a worker, causing death at a water gate construction project of the Royal Irrigation Department in Village 7, Sala Khu Subdistrict, Nong Suea District, Pathum Thani Province. They promptly went to investigate.
At the scene, they found the body of Mr. Pakpoom Sirisuk, 27, the driver of an 18-wheel trailer truck, lying dead near the trailer and the large steel plate. Authorities secured the area for inspection and documentation before assigning the Ruamkatanyu Foundation volunteers to transport the body for a detailed autopsy at the Somdet Phra Theprat Ratchasuda Medical Center (Srinakharinwirot University, Klong 16) in accordance with legal procedures.
Ms. Porntip Sirisuk, 25, the deceased's wife, sorrowfully revealed that at the time of the accident, her husband was walking to change the battery on the trailer, which had arrived to transport the steel plates. Meanwhile, an excavator was lifting a steel plate onto the trailer, but suddenly the plate slipped from the lifting equipment and fell heavily onto her husband, causing his immediate death at the scene. Although bystanders attempted to help, they were unable to save him.
Ms. Porntip tearfully said her husband was the family's main breadwinner, and they have two children together. His sudden passing has caused immense loss, leaving her feeling lost and uncertain about how to continue life alone, as she must now raise the children by herself.
Meanwhile, investigators from Nong Suea Police Station are currently interviewing witnesses present during the incident and coordinating with relevant agencies to review work procedures and safety measures at the construction project to determine the true cause of the accident before proceeding with legal actions.
