A family’s tears as two year old boy thrown from pick-up to his death in Nong Khai

Our picture shows a tragic scene as a family member cradles the corpse of a two year old boy killed in a road accident.

The boy’s grandfather Meechai, 40, was taking him and his daughter to pick up his wife at a bank in the north eastern Thai city.

He lost control of his Vigo as he passed the LPG station on the Ponphisai to Nong Khai Road, hit a tree in the central reservation then rolled many times.

Chutithep was thrown from the vehicle and died from a fractured skull and head trauma at the scene.

The driver was only slightly injured in the accident at 4pm yesterday.

Police said CCTV from the gas station showed only one vehicle was involved.

An investigation is underway.
