A fatal motorcycle crash occurred when a 17 year old boy, identified as Mawin, lost control of his vehicle and hit a footpath, resulting in his death and injuries to his girlfriend and younger brother. The incident occurred around 10pm yesterday, on a road near Bang Sao Thong Municipality in Samut Prakan province.

 

The local authorities, led by deputy investigator Worakrit Parruang, responded to the scene, along with a team from Ruamkatanyu Foundation and medical staff from Rama II Rd. Hospital. On arrival, they found Mawin unconscious and severely injured, while his 17 year old girlfriend, Nam, and his 12 year old brother, Pongsakorn, had also sustained injuries.

Despite immediate medical attention, including CPR and artificial respiration, Mawin later died at Bang Na 2 Hospital. Nam, who suffered a head injury and multiple abrasions, was taken to Bang Bo Hospital, while Pongsakorn, who only had minor injuries, declined hospital treatment.

Another statistic to ignore by the caring government.

He couldn't have lost control of a bike he was too young and weak to control properly, especially when it was carrying more people than it was designed for, could he? Someone should ask his parents, perhaps.

His girlfriend said he was paying to much attention talking to her and she asked him to pay attention to the road but it was too late.

No helmets worn by any of them I presume. The lack of law enforcement will just continue, even if stopped and fined, they are just left to carry on their journey. TIT
