It is learned that a car driven by U Aung Than, a member of the township administration and management committee of the military junta that seized power in Thanbyuzayat Township, sped excessively and collided with a passenger Light truck traveling ahead, resulting in a three-vehicle collision.

The incident occurred at around 8:00 AM on October 19 at the entrance of Taung Ywar Road in Naungbo Village, Thaton Township, it is learned. A 'Haria' type vehicle bearing the Kyaikkhami Seaside Pagoda logo crashed into a passenger Light truck, which then in turn collided with a three-wheeler traveling in the opposite lane ahead of it, according to reports.

"The car driven by committee member Aung Than rammed into the car ahead of it from behind. That car couldn't control its speed and hit the three-wheeler in the opposite lane. People were injured. Now the police station is mediating. The victims haven't received compensation. They say it happened while he was traveling to Yangon. His followers were also with him," a local resident said.

The car driven by U Aung Than is a vehicle owned by Kyaikkhami Seaside Pagoda, and since he serves as chairman of the Kyaikkhami Seaside Pagoda trustee board, he was permitted to use the vehicle, it is also said.

Due to the three-vehicle collision, a woman traveling on the three-wheeler suffered a dislocated wrist injury, a small child suffered abrasions to the face, and a man aboard the 'Haria' car lost consciousness, it is learned.

The injured persons were transported to Zimbyu Township Hospital with the assistance of the Tha Pyay Nyo Heart Social Rescue and Funeral Aid Association of Thaton Township, it is learned.
