Khaeng Mak Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 My guess rear lights not working on the truck. Black and covered in tar. Bike speeding and did not see it in the darkness. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Witnesses told police that the truck has been parked on the left side of the road preparing to spray asphalt on the road as part of repairs. They say the motorbike was traveling at high speed and collided into the back of the truck, killing the man instantly." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexlark Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 The Kusoldarm Foundation took the photo. Could that refer to the 'black zero' of death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinginKata Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Initial investigations revealed that Mr Nathee was on his way home from work and police believe he was either speeding or had fallen asleep after a night-shift as the asphalt truck was already parked at the side of the road preparing to begin road works before the collision happened.Read more at https://www.thephuketnews.com/night-shift-security-guard-dead-after-motorbike-hits-parked-truck-70972.php#Sc2kq6BMpeI4FRp3.99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to have an obsession with all things Phuket- ever considered living here? Maybe we could Thread swap and I can equal each of your Phuket posts in the Khon Kaen thread. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 RIP. I hope he has no children. If he did, Darwin natural selection wouldn't apply. Recall from years ago regarding twilight being very dangerous time to drive. Elements like low sun on horizon, some have lights on, some don't, etc. Even if you don't need the lights on to see, turn them on so others can see you my advice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Probably fair to say no bright orange safety cones or anything else alerting traffic to an upcoming parked heavy vehicle and road works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Just the usual failing to drive with due care and attention. Applies to the majority of drivers throughout the country, day or night. At that time of the morning the sun might - might - have been in his eyes, but in the real world you drive in a manner that suits the conditions, not at the reported (as always) high speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did well with your guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Simple inattention with tragic consequences.... .... it does amaze me over here how many ride around in such complete oblivion, with total disregard for their own fate... I'm aghast at how a motorcyclist can ride into to back of stationary truck in daylight hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
