Bangkok, Thailand—A 29-year-old man was taken to a local hospital yesterday after driving his white SUV into a swimming pool on the campus of Chulalongkorn University. The incident occurred shortly before dawn near the Sasapol Building. Guards attempted to block the vehicle, but the driver broke through the barriers.

The man swam to the side of the pool on his own before rescue workers reached the scene. He was transported to Charoenkrung Pracharak Hospital for treatment of his injuries. No other individuals were in the pool or the immediate vicinity during the crash, preventing a potential tragedy.

Police investigators identified the primary motive as a heated family dispute. The suspect had reportedly argued with his mother over her refusal to contribute toward his monthly condominium rent. Stress from the financial conflict appears to have triggered the behavior.

Security personnel at the university reported that the driver accelerated through the entry gate despite their verbal warnings to stop. The vehicle was completely submerged in the pool with only the roof visible for a time. The car has since been extracted by heavy-duty salvage equipment.

The university administration has lodged a formal police report regarding the damage to the campus facilities. Legal proceedings are currently being prepared against the driver for reckless conduct and property destruction. His mental state is being assessed as part of the formal criminal investigation.

Witnesses on campus were startled by the sudden intrusion. The early hour meant that very few students or staff were present to witness the impact. The pool has been closed for repairs and water treatment due to fluids leaking from the vehicle.

Local media outlets noted the incident rapidly spread across social platforms, triggering debates about financial tensions and the behavior of younger adults. The police have emphasized that the legal process will be handled without outside influence. The driver remains under medical supervision for his injuries.

Police continue to collect evidence from the vehicle’s onboard data system to confirm its speed at the moment of impact. The university is reviewing its own security protocols to see how a civilian vehicle could gain access to such a restricted area.
