History repeats itself as motorcyclist dies on Rama IV bridge 

 

Picture: Sanook

 

Sanook reported that a motorcyclist was killed at the same spot as another rider a while back who fell to his death and landed on a car outside a department store. 

 

Pak Kret police and rescue services attended the scene on Rama IV bridge outbound on Sunday evening where they found 39 year old Santipong dead from head trauma and rib injuries. 

 

He was from Sisaket and worked at a company in Lat Prao. His Honda Wave motorcycle was at the scene. 

 

Siripong, 37, a car driver who witnessed the accident said that the rider lost control at the bend after overtaking a truck and trying to get back on the left side of the road. 

 

The accident was in the exact spot where a student on a motorcycle was catapulted to his death onto the back of a car below the bridge, an accident that was a big story in the news.

Obviously this section of road is haunted. 

Does not take much critical thinking to come to that conclusion.

I mean, what else could it be?

The problem is that the dead can't learn and too many of the living believe that accidents such as this only happen to other people.

Soon there won't be any spot left on Thai roads without any history of death.

it does not matter what we think. it is the spirits that control that part of the road who are calling the shots. 

are you drunk?

too fast on a scooter, no road sense /training more like , a trained  rider will know if you look at the piece of road in front instead of looking round the bend, that is where you wil end up, (its a mental thing),   that was not much of a  bend at all a 80 mph at least on a big bike ha ha, next time you see a photo of a bike racer you will see his eyes focused on the exit (or round) the corner, not what is in front of him.

[Xaos]

Are bike allowed this elevated roads at all? 

[Redline]

Make sure you know it has nothing to do with lack of law enforcement or driver training, or even having a license

You're right. An idiot who did an ILLEGAL undertaking, then lost control. Som Nom Na.

 

the concept of 'undertaking' only applies over in the UK, Europe etc

 

In LOS, one can overtake other vehcles on their Left, or to the Right on those multi line behemoth roads.

You are simply going faster in your lane, than soemeone else is doing in his lane...

[Tropposurfer]

Spend a million baht n put up good tall safety wire fence across the structure.

poor bugger what a way to go☹️

Isn't the Rama IV Bridge a tollway. You have to pay to get on there .

So how did a prohibited vehicle manage it ?

When they learn to drive as normal people...

If this curve is before toll booth you can see many time bikes drives there. Then there will be ramp off before booth boxes...

The headline says he is on the bridge.

RIP, my fellow Sisaket province citizen.

 

   Not the best way to go, I hope that it was short and painless. My condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
