A car crash at a school in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, on Monday afternoon resulted in the deaths of two people and injuries to at least 10 others, including children, parents, and a food vendor.

A car crashed into a crowd of schoolchildren in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, killing a four-year-old nursery student and traffic officer Police Lieutenant Wimut Tansupho. Three others, including several children, four parents, and a food vendor, were seriously injured and rushed to the hospital for treatment.
The car was later found overturned behind a bus stop. Investigators discovered that the driver, Somsak, was intoxicated, with a blood alcohol level four times over the legal limit. He was found with 197 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood, far exceeding the legal limit of 50mg.
Somsak reportedly had been at a party with friends at a local restaurant before the crash. He was returning home when the accident occurred, unaware of the events that followed. Major General Narongrit Dansuwan, commander of Nakhon Ratchasima Provincial Police, confirmed that Somsak would face the maximum charges under the law for causing death and serious injury while driving under the influence.
The penalties for these offenses could include up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to 200,000 baht. If convicted of causing severe injury, Somsak could face up to six years in prison. After being treated in the hospital, Somsak was remanded in custody, with bail denied. Authorities have pledged to seek justice for the victims of this devastating accident.
