An 11-year-old boy crashed a pickup truck into a group of monks on a pilgrimage walk in northeastern Thailand, killing eight, officials said. The group of 35 monks from Mukdahan province were on a 260-kilometer walk to Ubon Ratchathani province when the accident occurred.
Investigation Underway
Security camera footage shared by a local rescue group shows the monks walking in a single line on the side of a road before the truck crashes into them. Local police said the boy is now in custody and will be questioned when state child protection officers arrive. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
