Video shows moment 11-year-old drives pickup truck into Buddhist procession

A video captured CCTV footage showing an 11-year-old boy driving a pickup truck into a Buddhist religious procession in Mukdahan, Thailand, resulting in at least ten deaths and ten injuries, with two remaining in critical condition. The incident occurred as a group of 35 monks and five lay followers walked along a roadside during a pilgrimage. According to police, the boy had taken his parents' vehicle without permission and was unable to provide a statement to authorities. He has been referred to child welfare authorities for assessment alongside his mother. In Thailand, children under the age of 12 are legally exempt from criminal liability.
