A 12-year-old girl was killed after the wooden house she was in collapsed, Tambon Mae Pao kamnan Udom Chanthawong said.

Three residents of Mae Pao were injured by falling house walls.

Many villagers claimed this was the worst summer storm in 30 years.

Udom inspected the storm damage in Ban Kalae Moo 7 yesterday along with local officials and soldiers. The storm toppled many large trees and power poles and damaged dozens of homes.

Storms also hit various districts of Kanchanaburi province on Friday night, resulting in blackouts and a number of road accidents while flooding in Nong Prue subdistrict affected a number of homes.

In Muang Kanchanaburi, a brand-new pickup truck collided with a sedan in rain on the bypass road near the Wat Khao Phu Rang Intersection in Tambon Pak Praek, resulting to three injuries. The two occupants in the sedan were in a critical condition.

The crash caused an oil spill and several motorcyclists lost control and crashed, although no one was seriously injured.

In Buri Ram’s Muang district in the lower Northeast, three hours of heavy downpours on Friday caused flooding up to 50 centimetres deep at nearly all roads in the municipal area, including Jira, Sunthorn Thep and Saensuk, for some two hours.

Many residents in low-lying areas were hit by flooding and had to move belongings to higher ground while two motorists lost control on flooded road surfaces and crashed into roadside ditches, resulting in two slight injuries.

In Sakhon Nakhon’s Sawang Din Daen district, storm-hit people yesterday collected construction materials such as tin sheets and wood planks at Wat Pa Laylai to repair their homes, as the Tambon Bong Nua Administrative Organisation surveyed the damage to aid people.

A total of 475 homes in 37 villages under the district’s five tambons were affected by a May 6 summer storm, including Bong Nua’s 120 homes.
