Bangkok – September 24, 2025, 7:08 AM
A section of road in front of Vajira Hospital on Samsen Road, Vajira Hospital Subdistrict, Dusit District, suddenly collapsed early this morning, prompting immediate response from emergency services.
Personnel from the Samsen Fire and Rescue Station rushed to the scene following initial reports of the incident. Authorities quickly cordoned off the area to prevent vehicles and pedestrians from entering the danger zone.
As of now, no injuries or casualties have been reported. Hospital operations remain unaffected, though access routes to the facility are experiencing heavy congestion. Traffic police have been deployed to redirect vehicles and ease the flow in surrounding areas.
Officials are currently investigating the cause of the collapse. Early assessments suggest that underground water leakage or ongoing infrastructure wear may have weakened the road surface. Engineering teams are examining the site to determine the extent of the damage and carry out urgent repairs.
Local residents and motorists have been advised to avoid Samsen Road near Vajira Hospital and use alternative routes until further notice.
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has assured the public that safety remains a top priority and that updates will be provided as the situation develops.
