Ra Bo Pai police in Prachinburi in central/NE Thailand and Ruam Katanyu rescue services were called after a head on collision between a Toyota Vigo pick-up and a Honda Wave motorcycle on the Ban Ra Bo Pai Road in Nong Prong sub-district.

The authorities found a badly damaged pick-up with a burst tire and the bike on its side.

Kiatsak, 44, was behind the wheel of the pick-up.

Saifon, 45, a tomboy from Phetchabun was lying in a pool of blood from a head injury and despite CPR was pronounced dead at the scene, reported Thai Rath.

Piyathat, a passenger in the Vigo said that they had been following a vehicle carrying wood for some distance before the collision with the oncoming bike.

The body was taken to hospital for autopsy.

Police are investigating the cause.

ASEAN NOW notes that around 80% of all road traffic fatalities in Thailand are people on motorcycles.

Why is her sexuality mentioned?

[BobBKK]

"Tomboy" is relevant?  such poor reporting

[KhunLA]

That 1 of 15k+ vehicle deaths a year is news at all ... now we need to know the sexual preference of victims.

[kotsak]

Was the "Tomboy" reference necessary? Would the conditions and the outcome of the accident be different if the person wasn't a tomboy? ????

 

[ThailandRyan]

Just distasteful to use sexual orientation in a headline.....what has the world become when news needs to be sensationalized by adding certain terms to the tag line. 

[Andre0720]

Trying to find a way to make this accident interesting. Sex, well, that might do it...

Many Tom Boys bind their breasts to appear more Man like so maybe her driving was restricted and coordination affected by this restriction. I have also noted some Tom Boys to passive aggressive and this might have also been relevant to her driving.

While some posters are questioning the necessity to reveal the deceased sexual orientation this poster has chosen to use it as cause of death !!

Riddle me this - What the hell difference does the sexual orientation of a motorcycle fatality victim have to do with --- anything???  ????

I know a number of short-haired, small-breasted women who don't wear makeup in our village.  None of them are "Tomboys."  If you looked at old pictures of my wife in her youth you could say she looked like a Tomboy. 

So - in the opinion of the on-site reporter, the victim "looked" like a Tomboy.  What difference does it make?
Call the wrong woman a Tomboy and you could end up in a defamation suit.

So who was trying to overtake the truck? sounds like the pick up driver from the full story, and as we all know, drivers here tend to tailgate before overtaking with no clear view of what is ahead. just more bad driving IMO nobody cares in Thailand to do anything about it. Helmet or not, hitting a pickup head-on, riding a motorbike will most likely cause death.

when they say "Head-On" collision in Thailand it is literally that - and often/usually no helmet for mitigation.

Perhaps the truck decided to pass the wood bearing vehicle on the shoulder and a motorcycle just happened to be using the shoulder in the wrong direction.
