A tragic accident occurred as a 48 years old Yamaha factory employee, Anuwat Thawadee, attempted to weave his motorcycle between two trucks on Theparat Road, Samut Prakan.

 

The man lost control, fell under the wheels of one truck, and was crushed to death, despite wearing a helmet. The incident is under investigation by the Bang Phli police.

 

At the scene, Anuwat’s black Yamaha motorcycle lay overturned in the middle of the road, while the driver of the 18-wheel Isuzu truck with which he collided, Patwai Kamsuwan, stood about 500 meters away, waiting to work with the police. A witness, Sunan Glom Yim, a grilled pork vendor, said she saw two trucks racing each other before Anuwat tried to manoeuvre between them, ultimately leading to the accident.

 

Another witness, Raphee Mangkorn, reported seeing the accident unfold from a pedestrian overpass. He claimed the motorcycle attempted to pass between the trucks when the truck on the right suddenly slowed down, causing Anuwat to veer into the other truck’s path and fall under its rear wheels.

It isn't tragic, it's the inevitable result of reckless stupidity.

Dude was 48 yrs old. Did he have children? I hope not, as they have gotten his "stupid" gene & too late for Darwin theory to have a positive effect.... the seeds been passed, you can go kill yourself any way you like

I have my doubts they were 'racing' maybe just overtaking but then again the terminology "TRUCKS" in Thailand could mean, UTES, Pick ups, or Lorries. :unsure:

The article identifies the 'truck' as an Izuzu 18 wheeler, that is, a ten wheel truck towing and eight wheel trailer. The reporter appears to express surprise that the bike rider's helmet failed to protect him when being run over by the truck. ????
