Oil truck crashes in Tak

TAK - An oil lorry flipped over and burst into flames in Mae Sot district, but there was no immediate report of any casualties or damage.

The accident occurred shortly after noon on Tuesday at the 51 kilometre marker on the Maung Tak District-Mae Sot District Road in tambon Dan Mae Lamoh. 

Police and emergency relief workers cordoned off a 300-metre area around the crash site, causing traffic to bank up on both sides of the roads leading to Maung Tak district and Mae Sot border town for several kilometres.
