A horrific accident occurred during the early hours of the day as a teenager fell victim to a deadly road incident. Three young boys were returning home after celebrating a friend’s birthday when their journey turned fatal.

 

Their motorcycle was hit by a red truck, leading to the tragic death of an 18 year old boy, while the other two boys suffered severe injuries. Law enforcement is now on the lookout for the alleged culprit who fled the scene.

 

The tragic deadly road incident took place around 1.30am today, as reported by Police Lieutenant Colonel Pakorn Sanusan, the investigation officer from Nakhon Pathom City Police Station. The location was on the Takong-Don Tum Road, in front of the Phichaiwat ice factory, Bo Plub, Nakhon Pathom city. Emergency service personnel were quickly on-site, including rescue workers from Nakhon Pathom Hospital, Nakhon Pathom Public Health Foundation Staff, and on-duty doctors from the Nakhon Pathom Centre Hospital.

 

The deadly road incident scene was strewn with a large club of teenagers, coupled with the distressing sight of the deceased, identified as Thirasak (surname withheld), who perished at the scene. Thirasak, an 18 year old trainee mechanic in a vocational training institute, was found lifeless in a roadside ditch. Metres away, lay a toppled green and black Honda motorcycle, registration number 1 Kor 9818 Nakhon Pathom, against the side of a canal. Littered about were abandoned trainers and three helmets.
