Tree falls and kills couple at national park

A mother and father died in a tragic accident yesterday morning when a tree fell down and crushed the family’s tent at a Kampangpetch National Park.

The family was having breakfast in front of their tent at the Khlong Wang Chao National Park when a tree collapsed onto their tent.

Mangkorn Wutthipanyadee, 32, was killed instantly while his wife Natthicha Wutthipanyadee, 37, died at the hospital.

Their 13-year-old daughter Wipada Wutthipanyadee suffered a fracture in her left leg and their colleague Kantima Prasarn reportedly hurt her ankle.

The three adults were colleagues at Kampangpetch Electricity Authority

Kampangpetch governor Surapol Vanichsaenee has instructed the national park’s staff to cut down all the unsafe trees that could potentially harm tourists who plan to visit the park this winter, Thairath reported.
