Khlong Khlung police said the crash occurred at a busy three-way junction outside the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) Khlong Khlung branch in Village 2, Tambon Khlong Khlung. CCTV footage reviewed by investigators showed the victim riding his modified, unregistered tricycle out of a motorcycle repair shop in the area after it had been serviced.
He then attempted to accelerate across traffic lanes. At the same time, a Hino 18-wheel lorry registered in Nakhon Sawan was travelling straight along the main road at normal speed and was unable to brake in time. The lorry struck the tricycle, causing an impact that threw Thongsuk onto the roadway and he rolled under and was run over by the wheels.
The lorry driver, identified as 33-year-old Phayom from Village 2, Wang Khaem, Khlong Khlung district, was taken into custody at Khlong Khlung police station for questioning and legal processing. Officers carried out alcohol breath testing and drug screening as part of standard procedure and gathered witness statements and CCTV evidence for the case file.
