Daily News Thai Caption: Looking at a phone while riding a motorcycle

 

A distraught father told how he had just given his daughter 60 baht on Sunday as she was going into school to practice some drama with friends.

 

Just a short while later he got a call every parent dreads.

 

His only daughter was dead - hit head on by a pick-up truck.

 

She wasn't going in the direction of the school. She was off to pick up a friend.

 

The driver of the Nissan Navaro said he saw her on the phone coming towards him. He braked coming to a halt but she rode into his lane on the two lane road and collided head on, reported Daily News.

 

Pol Capt Chawanai Marasri and rescue services had rushed to the Udon Thani to Nong Saeng Ban Lupwai Road in Muang district of Udon Thani. 

 

The pick-up had severe damage to the front and the young lady's red Honda Wave was nearby on the ground. 

 

The driver said he was delivering jelly to Nong Saeng when he saw the teen on the phone coming towards him.

 

A public health volunteer said this showed the danger of looking at phones while on motorcycles.

 

Such behavior breaks concentration, they said. 

 

Police are investigating the cause of the accident.
