Bangkok: Four Mexican tourists were killed and six others were injured when their tour van crashed into a tree in central Thailand, police said today.
The accident happened in Phichit province late on Thursday as the group travelled in a rental van from Bangkok to the historic Thai capital of Sukhothai.
"The driver lost control of the van and it veered off the road and into a tree. Four people died -- two men and two women -- while six are injured, one of them critically," a district policeman, Captain Patiwat Sonthirod, told AFP.
Thailand has the second most dangerous roads in the world in terms of per capita deaths.
Thirteen Malaysian tourists died in a bus crash before Christmas.
