From the article:

 

The pickup truck driver who stayed at the scene, Mr. Yutthana Supparakkiet, 30, told the associated Thai press, “I was in the right lane when the motorbike driver quickly changed into my lane without warning. I was unable to stop the collision, this had nothing to do with racing or speed.”

 

Yet witnesses said they saw you racing another agricultural utility vehicle at speed? ????

Witnesses said two pick-ups were racing each other, one lost control crashed hitting the motorbike and a power pole.

The second pick-up drove off.
