webfact Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 One motorcyclist killed, second injured in apparent road race By The Nation A motorcyclist was killed and another injured when their bikes, which a witness said were racing on a Bangkok road, grazed each other early on Tuesday. The accident happened on Sukhaphibal 5 road in Bangkok’s Bang Khen district. Police said Yospol Aksorn, 26, died of serious head injuries after he was thrown from his black Honda CBR motorcycle. Decha Buanoi, 29, who drove a Ducati motorcycle, was injured and rushed to B.Care Medical Centre Hospital. Chompu Kham-on, 53, a taxi driver, told police that he saw the two motorcyclists racing each other at high speed going in the opposite direction to his taxi. He said the bikes accidentally grazed each other, causing the CBR rider to be hurled from his bike while the Ducati hit his taxi. Police have yet to check security camera footage before considering legal action against the survivor.

Mid 20s to mid 30s for Thais equate to around pre adolescence in the rest of the world 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I guess that happens a lot more than once per day/night in Thailand. Why is this one in the news? Unfortunately there are just too many idiots who like to race like that and most of the time no police who cares. TiT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a totally alien concept to them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal decent people are now safer without him. 11 hours ago, Rgreen88 said: Improving the gene pool... After all these similar comments, permit me to lighten the mood. Wonder which bike was the fastest? My money is on the Ducati. In the end these dufuses were doing what probably of us did when we were young. Difference is we lived to see another day. My friends and I used to downhill race each other on some pretty steep ski slopes, we used to race everything from snowmobiles, to skateboards all the way down to the proverbial kitchen sink. Being older and more fragile I don't endorse this behavior but I realize it is impossible to stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racing any vehicle on public roads is endangering others and in my mind is not acceptable, not when I was younger and not now. Not really, downhill skiing takes the skier to speeds that can actually cause great damage if the skier slams into another person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
