From the link:

Witnesses said the motorbike rider was driving at high speed before losing control at a curve. However, the police are continuing their investigation to find the exact cause of the accident.

 

I'd go with the witness statement.

And, as it's said that an average of two people an hour are killed on Thai roads, with 80% of Thai road deaths being motorcyclists, there were plenty more killed in addition to this one. This made the news, most don't. I have no idea why that is.

If you don't like it, stay in a western nanny police state instead. Western states still have accidents even though everyone drives like they are 80 years old.

Only secular people fear death, that's why they obsess on it.
