A dad died trying to save his son from a group of teens who were after him.
Amnat, a 43-year-old driver, was after a group of boys who had cut his son with a knife. Monday morning at 3:30 a.m., he lost control of his car and hit a tree (December 5).
The heartbreaking crash happened on Liap Klong Song Road in Pathum Thani, Thailand, right after Amnat's son was chased by the gang on his motorbike and had his leg cut off with a knife.
When rescue workers and police officers from the Klong Luang Police Station heard about the crash, they went to the scene and used a metal cutting machine to get three people out alive.

The Thaiger says that people are still looking for the group that threatened 17-year-old Phon before beating him on the road.
The police say that after getting a scary message from a local teen gang, Phon called his dad to come get him from a friend's house.
Phon's girlfriend and two of his friends, Siriporn, 19, Sunita, 19, and Chayanon, 22, rode with Amnat to the house. They decided to go to the police station to take the boy home.
Phon didn't want to leave his bike at his friend's house, so he went to his dad's house with two other people. On the way, they were caught by three bad guys on two bikes.
They got close enough to the 17-year-left old's leg to use a knife to cut it.
Amnat saw the attack and didn't want it to happen again, so he tried to scare the group away by following them, but he crashed into a tree by the road.
People with knives ran away, but the police talked to Phon and his friends to find out who they were and what they wanted.
As part of their investigation, the police said they would check the security cameras along the road and in the area around it.
