There is a fly over in Khlong Tan Junction (Sukhumvit 71 and Petchaburi rd) - there have been two motorcycle deaths (one Big Big Bike another a Scooter) on this fly over over the past 6 months, both accidents did not involve other vehicles.

The fly over has a couple of slight bends on it.

 

I fail to see how this fly over can be even remotely dangerous, yet accidents happen, 

 

 

Maybe have ghost.

Hope they tested for alcohol. Feel sorry for these girls totally vulnerable on the back

            I feel sorry for the kids on the back of M/Cs because they have no choice . They just trust Meh and Poh . 'These girls' are constantly riding around on the back and front of M/Cs themselves .

At least two of them now...

 

.... there may be more accidents to come then !! I'd better wear that amulet when riding over that fly-over.

The throttle does not have to be turned all the way to max everytime you ride the bike

6am....dark, drunk, unfamiliar road or inexperienced driver....

Happens quite too often.

 

A dog, a snake, a mosquito in your eye...

we will not know

 

I'd say, hope she can walk again

and good luck to the guy who was reanimated

Only because people try to take it too fast!

Bends don't injure/kill people... speeds helps!

It doesn't even appear to be much of a bend. I suggest it got it's name from the years past death of a Russian speeding down there on a crotch rocket producing a gruesome sight of 2 halves after hitting a lamp post... maybe the same one.

Do we know if he survived? Looked like his heart had stopped the way they were treating him

Som nam na   

But speedy recovery for the passenger.

I think this is supposed to be the Bend? Further towards Pattaya than the other screenshot...

Having spent years driving around in Canada's Rocky Mountains this "Bend of Death" looks positively frightening.  Could this be caused by - speed, alcohol, unskilled operator. over-powered motorcycle or all of the above.
