A shocking collision between two motorcycles in Buriram province resulted in the tragic demise of two young men. Police Lieutenant Colonel Rek Wichian, deputy investigator of Nang Rong Police Station, Buriram, coordinated with medical staff from Nang Rong Hospital and Siam United Heart Rescue unit to investigate the incident that occurred at about 8pm yesterday.

 

At the scene of the accident, the body of 29 years old Panuwich, was found lying next to a damaged Nova Dash motorcycle, near a local resident’s wall. Further about 50 metres away, the lifeless body of 22 years old Teeraphat, was found within a nearby house’s premises. A wrecked Honda motorcycle, stripped down to its frame, was discovered in front of the house.

 

Local witnesses reported hearing the sound of motorcycles racing, even in the rain, before the loud crash was heard. The discovery of the two fatal accident victims and the damaged motorcycles prompted them to alert the authorities.

Darwin at work again.

Well at least one of them possessed a helmet ????

Not surprising, in a country with so many motorcycles on the road, it bound to have accidents and a fatal ones at that...

Especially if you race them in the rain.

Doesn't do much good when it's hooked to the seat or the chin strap isn't tightened and latched.

When two kids are killed because of misadventure why is not Tragic ?..  their families will certainly feel the tragic loss. 

 

Any avoidable and unnecessary death is tragic...  those who don't think so are devoid of empathy. 

 

 

Of course, these deaths were self inflicted... but are these deaths any less Tragic than a racing driving who knew the risks and still raced ???  Was Ayrton Senna's death not tragic ?

 

The difference is perhaps these boys were let down by society - the lack of law enforcement enabled their behavior which if otherwise kept in check with professional and effective law enforcement those boys and many others would be alive today...  Tragic is the perfect word to describe this situation.
