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.

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...
