The car crash that killed 10 monks on a pilgrimage in Mukdahan's Muang district was extremely horrifying. However, the real shock came after the details were released: the driver of the car, which was a pickup truck, was an 11-year-old boy diagnosed with autism.
The fatal accident occurred late Thursday morning as a group of 35 monks and laymen walked in a single file towards Don Tan district. Five were killed instantly, while five others succumbed to their injuries at Mukdahan Hospital.
