A cement truck collided with a motorcycle carrying two Swedish men in Pathum Thani province near Bangkok, resulting in one death and one severe injury.

 

Officers from Sam Kok Police Station swiftly responded to the collision along the Prem Prachakon canal road yesterday at 3.20pm. Upon arrival, they discovered an Isuzu cement truck with noticeable damage to its front bumper, with the victim’s Honda Dream motorcycle wedged beneath it.

 

Approximately 10 meters away from the truck, a Swedish man was found injured, blood streaming from his mouth and nose. Sadly, alongside the roadside, officers encountered the lifeless body of another Swedish man. Tragically, he lay in a pool of his blood, bearing a severe head wound, while his legs and arms were fractured.

God...Awful.

May have pulled past uncut tree branches with a blind spot as they got into the road...something like that.

Just did that on my mountain bike other day at a busy bit back in UK. In retrospect, I'd have been wiped if a car was coming....

I am always amazed at the reckless, dangerous manner in which many foreigners drive their motorbikes around Thailand. I am sure they would never do this in their home country. So why do they do it here in Thailand? A death wish perhaps. 

I see it every day in CM, a lot of them foolishly just want to be noticed, like speeding up to cut in front of me. Maybe they have a thing for me, like take me on a date, I don’t know, but it’s a weird eyesore.

My thoughts are the same as yours.

Yeah. I have a motorcycle licence and experience. I assume nobody sees me and that I am about to get smeared at every moment. The most dangerous points is where you have the right of way. But this is where a lot of inexperienced ppl stop being attentive. Oh hey I clearly have the right of way. This is simple.

Foreigners? Look at how thai people drive, and they risk understanding.. Foreigners atleast have a better education in driving.
