Two university students lost their lives while one sustained injuries after a six-wheel truck crashed into their motorcycle in a horrific road accident in Pathum Thani province, north of Bangkok, Thailand. The driver of the truck later reported himself to the police in the aftermath of this tragic accident.

 

Around 2.40am today, a road accident incident was reported on Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok Road, approaching the Chomphu Bridge in the Thanyaburi district. The victims were discovered on the extreme right side of the road, with two tragically losing their lives at the scene. The deceased, Thakun, a 19 year old student from Si Sa Ket, and Yarinda, also 19 years old, from Ayutthaya, were both students at North Bangkok University’s Faculty of Communication Arts.

 

Approximately 100 metres from where the bodies were found, crashed remains of a Honda motorcycle, licence plate 6KP-3602 Bangkok, were discovered lying on the left side of the road. The injured survivor, 21 year old Ekarat from Narathiwat, was immediately rushed to Bangpakok 2 Rangsit Hospital by the rescue team.

Three up on a motorbike in the early hours of the morning?

 

The lorry driver was perhaps speeding to have lost control like that.

Was the motorbike having WORKING rear light, or did they took the bulb out because the ghosts may follow them?
Seen many time on the roads and luckely I could each time avoid an accident.
