DMT Participates in the 2026 Major Accident Rescue and Emergency Response Drill Organized by the Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT)

DMT reinforced its commitment to expressway safety by participating in the 2026 major accident rescue and emergency response drill organized by the Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT), Ministry of Transport, at the Rama VII Bridge Toll Plaza on the Prachim Ratthaya Expressway.

On this occasion, Mr. Kiatisak Wangmaitree, Vice President - Traffic Surveillance & Management Department, led the team together with Mr. Nakharin Pomjeen, Manager, Traffic Facilitation and Management Department, as well as DMT rescue personnel, in joining the exercise alongside all relevant agencies.

This annual drill is an important mission regularly carried out to support the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and to enhance emergency preparedness, ensuring that assistance to affected road users is delivered quickly, accurately, and with the highest level of safety.

The simulation scenario involved a private passenger car colliding with a chemical transport truck, resulting in multiple injuries and a hazardous chemical leak. This type of incident requires close coordination among multiple sectors to ensure effective containment and efficient rescue operations.

The exercise brought together personnel from a wide range of functions, including communications staff, toll plaza staff, traffic management staff, rescue personnel, special operations staff, and police officers, as well as partner agencies such as the National Institute for Emergency Medicine, Pollution Control Department, Bang Pho Metropolitan Police Station, Bang Sue District Office, Erawan Center, Expressway Traffic Control Center, Bangkok Expressway and Metro Public Company Limited (BEM), Ruamkatanyu Foundation, and Poh Teck Tung Foundation.

DMT remains committed to continuously enhancing personnel capability and safety standards in order to strengthen confidence among Don Muang Tollway users on every journey.
