Eight Buddhist monks were killed and more than 20 injured after being hit by a pickup truck driven by an 11-year-old boy while on a pilgrimage in Thailand’s northeastern province of Mukdahan, officials said on Thursday (July 2).
The victims were part of a group of 34 Buddhist monks and five lay followers undertaking a pilgrimage from one temple in Mukdahan province to another in neighbouring Ubon Ratchathani province, according to Mukdahan Governor Vorayan Bunarat.
Five monks died at the scene, while three later succumbed to their injuries in hospital, the governor said. Another 22 monks and one layperson were injured in the crash, including four who are now in critical condition.
