A 29-year-old Thai man was killed when his motorbike collided with a sedan on Phonprapanimit Road 26 in Pattaya late on Tuesday night, November 7th.

 

Nongprue police received a report of the fatal accident at 10 PM and rushed to the scene in Chonburi province’s Banglamung district, along with Sawang Boriboon rescue workers.

 

At the scene, authorities found 29-year-old Suriyan Chulnak deceased on the road with severe neck injuries. He was found beneath his Honda Wave 125 motorbike, which had crashed into the middle of a Toyota Altis sedan, driven by 27-year-old Phuchit Suwanchairob. The collision’s impact badly dented the sedan’s door. Mr. Phuchit did not provide a statement to the press.

Ouchhhh .

Local residents in the area expressed their concerns about this particular thoroughfare. They mentioned that accidents frequently occur on this road, resulting in several fatalities and serious injuries. They would like to request relevant authorities to install traffic lights at the entrances and exits of the alleyways to prevent further loss of life.

 

Or people could learn to drive more carefully when pulling out of side turnings, or speeding along a major road.

That would mean they would need to acknowledge the horrific driving standards here.

 

Taking responsibility is not a thai strength.

"The collision’s impact badly dented the sedan’s door".

 

It bent the car frame. That car would be a write-off in any Western country.

Such damage with a Honda Wave, one of the most basic small bikes!

Throttle to the max.

And heavily tinted windows don't help, in a lawless country.

But but tut - they're illegal aren't they? And so the ever vigilant traffic police pull such cars over and fine the driver and impound the car until the windows are changed, and they also arrest whoever fitted the illegal tints. Don't they?
