Boy driving truck crashes into group of monks, killing 9
- An 11-year-old reportedly took his parents' pickup and crashed into a line of Buddhist monks on a pilgrimage in northeastern Thailand, killing nine and injuring 13.
- CCTV shows the monks walking in single file before the truck swerved into them; the boy is in custody and authorities are investigating.
- Officials urged better road safety and parental supervision after the tragedy — a sharp reminder given Thailand’s high rate of traffic accidents and the cultural importance of monks.
