A Thai man mysteriously jumped off a bridge after he crashed his car into a 10-wheel truck on the New Ratchaphruek bridge in Pathum Thani province near Bangkok. It is believed that the man committed suicide because he was suffering from overwhelming stress.

 

According to the police, a 26 year old man named Chayanin Sipho, crashed his white Honda City sedan into a white Hino truck yesterday. The front of the sedan was completely destroyed while the truck was unaffected. The truck driver was identified as 36 year old Amnart Thareesong. He waited for the police at the scene, cooperating fully with the investigation.

 

The sedan driver, Chayanin, was found dead on the road beneath the bridge. His death was not related to the accident as a witness, 39 year old Pittaya Maneeon, saw Chayanin jump off the bridge.

 

Pittaya told police he saw Chayanin walk away from the scene as he rode his motorcycle across the bridge. He stopped and offered Chayanin assistance. He asked whether Chayanin wanted any help but he did not respond and continued walking along the bridge.

 

Suddenly, and without warning, Chayanin jumped off the bridge, leaving Pittaya and the truck driver in shock. Pittaya added that he did not detect any signs of alcohol consumption from Chayanin.

When you gotta go you gotta go, I guess he had his reasons.

poor guy.  He'd had enough of life.

RIP young man.

What can one even say? Was the prospect of taking responsibility for his actions, just too much to face? Or was this guy so high, he had absolutely no idea what he was doing? Or, maybe he was already suicidal, and this just pushed him over the edge. Who knows? Not much info to work with. One can only speculate. 

Trolling speculative posts reported and removed.

Presumably hoped that the head-on collision would do the job and used the bridge as a back-up.

 

Fair enough someone wants to end it, but don't involve other people.  What if the guy in the truck was injured or someone else was involved?

When you commmit suicide, you don't feel anything anymore.
But you leave a lot of people suffering with your deeds.
RIP
