[snoop1130]

 

A security guard at a private firm was killed in a motorcycle-sedan crash in a road tragedy during the early hours of this morning. The accident also resulted in a nine year old boy, who was a passenger in the sedan, being injured.

 

The accident took place at roughly 8.30am on the 3063, a main highway linking the districts of Bo Phong and Nakhon Luang in the central Ayutthaya province, north of Bangkok. Local police received a distress call and immediately arrived at the scene, along with personnel from the Ayutthaya Joint Heart Association.

 

Surprisingly, the accident scene was right next to the heavily trafficked Klong Chonlaprathan Canal. A sedan, bearing registration number กน-3656 from Ayutthaya province, was found with its left side damaged. Further ahead, a badly damaged Honda Wave motorcycle (license plate registration ขคท 127, Saraburi) lay strewn, with the wheel twisted out of shape.

 

In the middle of the road, 46 year old Damkeing’s lifeless body was discovered, bearing shocking injuries including broken limbs and gaping wounds across his body. As for the injured boy, A, his right arm was broken. He was immediately attended to by the emergency personnel and later transferred to the Somdej Phra Sangharaja Hospital, reported KhaoSod.

 

The distraught nephew of the dead security guard, 26 year old Nopadol, who arrived at the accident scene, relayed that his uncle had just finished his security duty at a firm and was heading home, a daily round trip routine to the Phachi district. The exact cause of the accident is yet unknown.

So sad to see these "accidents" still occurring on a daily basis.

They blur out the registration number of the car in the photo and then use it in the report. I love this country. Something to shake your head in wonder at every day.

 

Also, the motorcycle, according to the driver of the car, was on the wrong side of the road. Same old, same old.

I would like to point out that 8.30 AM is NOT the early hours of the morning.

Nine year old boy in the 'sedan' unrestrained? Will they ever learn?

This is Thailand.

I must admit I have become a part of Thailand.

I gave up refusing to be a part of no seatbelt, no children running free in the car etc years ago.

To try and fight a countries ways are noble but foolhardy.

Consequently, just cover your and your loved one's arses to the best of your ability when driving????????

"Thankfully, the motorcycle served as a blocker, preventing the car from plunging into the water."

 

I doubt if the occupants of the motorcycle saw it that way.
