[webfact]

 

A 28 year old motorcyclist died after crashing into the back of a lorry in Chon Buri, but the lorry driver vanished from the scene. Police are searching for the driver by reviewing CCTV footage and are calling for cautious driving, particularly on bypass roads where vehicles often speed.

 

At the accident site, the body of Kritsana Taen-ngu was discovered with a broken arm, ribcage, and neck. His face was severely injured, and his leg was still entangled with his grey and black GPX motorcycle, with a red license plate number 2-5446 from Ban Bueng police station. The front of the motorcycle was crushed, and fragments of the lorry’s mudguard were scattered, but the lorry was nowhere to be seen, Khaosod reported this morning.

 

The rescue worker, Thanakrit Charuprongkit, said that when they reached the accident scene, they found one fatality with his leg trapped in the motorcycle. Pieces of the lorry’s mudguard were present, but the lorry was not at the scene. The police will investigate, searching for the other vehicle involved in the accident. The bypass road is known for vehicles travelling at high speeds, so motorcyclists should exercise caution to prevent accidents in the area.

The rider was dead and the lorry was gone and there are no witnesses mentioned, so how do they know what happened? Guesswork, probably right, but written as fact. More great journalism.

Possibly, but very doubtful.
