Eight monks died after being hit by a pickup truck in Mukdahan Province, northeastern Thailand, on Thursday (2/7) at 11 a.m. The car was driven by an 11-year-old boy who took his father's vehicle without permission. A group of 34 monks was walking along the roadside on a pilgrimage from Mukdahan to Ubon Ratchathani when the incident happened. Five monks died at the scene, three others passed away on the way to the hospital. Seven monks were seriously injured, and 20 others suffered minor injuries. Police officers at the scene immediately coordinated with hospitals and rescue teams to handle the victims.

So heartbreaking. An 11-year-old kid took his father's car... seems like there wasn't enough parental supervision. Praying for the victims, this is truly a heavy tragedy.

So sad. Thailand’s been hit with disasters lately. Hope this serves as a wake-up call for parents to lock up their vehicles tight. My condolences.

So tragic. I hope the monks who passed away find peace, and those injured recover quickly. That 11-year-old kid probably had no clue about the risks.

Innalillahi. An accident like this is a lesson for all of us, parents need to be more careful. Don't let little kids just casually drive a car like that.

How could 34 monks end up walking along the side of a highway like that? Was there no sidewalk or escort? Hope all the victims find the best place.
