Eight Buddhist monks are killed and 13 people are injured after a truck drives into a religious procession in Thailand’s Mukdahan province, according to multiple reports. The incident occurs when a pick-up truck enters or strikes a group during the procession. Authorities and media reports indicate that the driver is a boy who allegedly took the truck without permission from his parents or guardians before the crash. The victims are described as Buddhist monks, and the injured include other participants in the procession. Reports consistently state the death toll is eight and the number of injured is 13. The accounts do not provide details on the crash mechanism beyond the truck “ploughing” or “slamming” into the group. None of the sources cited here offer differing interpretations of the basic facts, though they use varying wording on how the boy is believed to have gained access to the vehicle. The case is presented as an accident involving a stolen or unauthorized vehicle, with the boy’s alleged actions forming the key explanation reported across outlets.
