Over the weekend, three family members were killed in their car when they were struck by a large falling tree while driving on a winding mountain road in Umphang district in northern Thailand’s Tak province.
Police and a rescue team spent hours trying to recover the car and clear the road for other traffic.
According to the Thai-language daily Khao Sod, the Mae Sot-Umphang route is 164 kilometers long, with 1,219 sharp turns.
Landslides also occur here during the rainy season. This incident is the most serious and worst car accident this year in this area.
