Two people were killed and five others seriously injured when a pickup truck crashed into a motorcycle with a sidecar and turned over on a road in Singha Nakhon district of Songkhla province on Sunday (April 22).

 

Quoting eyewitness accounts, Singha Nakhon district police said that the sidecar which carried five people of the same family, including the driver, tried to make a U-turn to the other side of the Songkhla-Ranot road and then a pickup truck which was following the side car in close range failed to stop and slammed into it.

 

The force of the impact flung all the five family members out of the sidecar onto the road in different directions.  Two people in the sidecar, Atthapol Tohmud, 21 and Thirapong Poodpong, 10, died at the scene. Three others identified as Mrs Wanna Poodpong, Ms Thananan Poodpong, 23 and Ms Kanokwan Petcharat, 3, were seriously injured.

'... police said that the sidecar which carried five people of the same family, including the driver ...'

 

The message that has failed to get through to pick-up passenger cargoes has evidently missed sidecar users altogether. Particularly ones where the driver is also in the sidecar.
