According to some Thai media reports, the motorbike rider lost control of his bike just before the accident. CCTV footage from Rawai Municipality shows the truck approaching from the opposite lane before it collides with the motorbike and then runs the rider over.

Chalong Police have launched an investigation into the accident and have not ruled out legal action against the truck driver.

 

Seems rather harsh on the truck driver !
