Siam Rath reported that police, hospital medics and rescue services in Lampang, northern Thailand, went to the scene of an accident near a U-turn on the Lampang to Jaehom Road in Muang district.

 

They found a damaged Honda Wave on its side and its rider, Suthep, 49, injured. He had no recollection as to what happened and was taken to hospital.

A Mazda BT 50 pick-up had hit the motorcycle then collided with and damaged a fence of a private property that was just 2 meters away from where dozens of people were in line at a food shop.

 

Weerachon, 49, was behind the wheel of the pick-up but was uninjured.

It appeared that he had had some kind of seizure.

 

CCTV showed and witnesses confirmed that the pick-up had come out of a side soi, crossed the two lanes of traffic and hit the motorcyclist and fence.

Can't do much when a driver gets a seizure but you can do plenty to make riders wear helmets and shoes like in this case, i often wonder what are the real road fatalities numbers in this country, i bet the authorities don't you to know...
