Twenty five year old Jaikheng, a man with Myanmar nationality was dead at the scene near his overturned Honda Wave.

They mad much of the fact that the rider should have known the road.

Dirty road?

[soi3eddie]

Any loss of life is sad. Road looks a bit damp in places, brake failure, failure to brake, playing with phone? No mention of helmet or not. Huge loss of blood could have been caused by the sharp metal barrier. Another avoidable tragedy.

I don't know what the red and white vehicle is but it looks as if a few things have run into it.

nearly bald tires.
