snoop1130 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Three teenagers were injured (two seriously) on Tuesday afternoon in a collision between a motorcycle and a six-wheeled cargo truck in the Sri Racha district of Chonburi province. The incident occurred at approximately 3:40 PM on January 16th at Ban Surasak within the Khao Khansong sub-district, and involved a black Honda Zoomer-X motorcycle and a white Isuzu 6-wheel cargo truck. According to local reports, the motorcycle, driven by a 14-year-old boy (name withheld), lost control at a curve and collided with the truck, which was turning into a company to park. The young rider sustained a broken right leg, loss of consciousness, and bleeding from the ear. His two passengers, both also 14-years-old, also sustained injuries, one with a broken right leg. The three were immediately transported to Laem Chabang Hospital for emergency medical treatment.

Popular Post ikke1959 Posted January 18 Popular Post Share Posted January 18 Thank you RTP for checking driverslicenses, helmets, and parents for letting kids drive motorcycles... It is not the first time this happens and will not be the last.. as long as everybody doesn't take any responsibility to rescue these kids it will get worse 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlover Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 No question that these kids should certainly NOT have been riding on a motorcycle at that age. But looking at the positions of the respective vehicles it does look as if the truck was making a right turn into the yard. Which seems to indicate that the driver turned into the path of the on-coming motorcycle. So I don't think that the truck driver was completely innocent here. In fact it could well have been his fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you folks complained about those at the time. the fact they were money grabs, and the police only focused on a particular infringement at a time, or were overly focused on foreigners. There is more traffic now, I see more tourist coaches and HGV vehicles on the Railway Line Bypass, a road I use on my bike to avoid them and the dangers they create for motorcycles. A lot of accidents in the news lately... this lack of policing is letting things deteriorate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it could well have been his fault. there appears to me to be a clear view to the lorry to stop in plenty of time if paying attention or not driving too fast, the opening post says ''the motorcycle, driven by a 14-year-old boy, lost control at a curve and collided with the truck'' so maybe a bend prevented the lorry driver seeing anything coming when he started the turn. as to the bike, he should have been driving at a speed where it is safe to stop in the distance that you can see to be clear 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meeseeks Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Hard to assign blame, as a lack of competence is across the board here. They don't know about right of way and that is often where the problems begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 14-year old boys on a motorbike should not have been there at all but certainly should have been riding in a manner that did not cause the bike to lose control on the bend!

Expand there is only one way to drive, that's the correct way You're right but to bang on about it, righteously, suggests that you have only ever driven the "correct way". Is that right, you have never, ever, deviated from the "correct way" and have never put a foot wrong? If you haven't, even though you may not have been involved in a fatal, you need to pull your neck in but the truthful answer is obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
