A passenger van crash in Kamphaeng Phet tragically killed nine Myanmar migrant workers and injured six others.
Investigations revealed the van was overloaded, carrying 14 passengers against a 12-person limit, and its mandatory GPS system was switched off.
The driver's license has been suspended, and he faces significant fines for overloading and disabling the GPS, in addition to criminal charges for reckless driving causing death.
Police suspect the driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel, leading to the van skidding off the road, crashing into a tree, and catching fire.
