BANGKOK - Police say a truck carrying people to a wedding in northeast Thailand crashed early Sunday, killing 10 and injuring 17.
Police say the truck was transporting 30 people near Kalasin when it crashed into a construction pit that was dug for bridge pillars.
Police say the crash occurred about 2 a.m. local time (1930 GMT Saturday) and the driver never saw the open pit.
The police officer, who refused to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media, says the 17 injured were taken to a local hospital.
