Road crash saves Rohingya teenager from forced marriage

A road accident has proved to be blessing in disguise for a 15-year-old Rohingya girl saved from a human-trafficking gang.

The teenager was among eight Rohingya passengers in a pickup truck being chased by police after it sped past a checkpoint in Nakhon Si Thammarat province on June 8.

The truck then lost control and crashed into the side of the road, after which the driver fled the scene.
