A BMW sedan crashed into a KFC restaurant located within a Bangchak petrol station on Sukhumvit 62 in Bangkok on Saturday, causing extensive damage to the property and injuring at least 12 people.
The incident occurred at approximately 7:50 PM local time when the bronze-grey BMW smashed through the glass front of the restaurant. At least 12 individuals sustained injuries, including customers, delivery riders, KFC staff, and the BMW driver, all of whom were transported to hospital. Fortunately, none of the injuries were reported to be serious.
According to investigators, the car had entered the petrol station to refuel. While waiting in a queue, the vehicle suddenly accelerated, striking a cream-coloured Toyota Camry before losing control and ploughing into the KFC. Police are currently questioning the driver and witnesses, as well as reviewing surveillance footage, to determine the precise cause of the crash.
The crash caused significant damage to the restaurant's frontage, and emergency services responded promptly to attend to the injured and secure the scene. The investigation is ongoing.
