3 AM, speeding, totally blind for red light and waiting vehicle.

Are they doing post-mortem alcohol test?

[mfd101]

A new meaning of the word 'chopper' for me.

 

In my (antique) version of the English language it's a helicopter ...

[hotchilli]

A passenger in the pickup truck, Mr. Sang, a 45-year-old Laotian national, stated that he witnessed the motorcycle approaching at high speed before colliding with the back of the truck and bursting into flames.

Police are still investigating the exact cause of the accident as of press time

 

Speed and no attention to the surroundings..

Rider had no brains

[eisfeld]

Looks like a Honda Rebel 300 to me. That's not a chopper.

Hard to believe there was any speeding involved with so many roads under construction in Pattaya! I can hardly get up to 30 km/h most days around the city! LOL

Please don't be angry if I point this out, I really don't mean to be the grammar police and I couldn't since it's not my native language, but I  inform you that there is a rather important difference between stationery vehicle and stationary vehicle. Redundant too, since the vehicle is waiting at a red light. Unless you mean that Muppets only slam into stationary stationery vehicles, that would be quite selective.

Was it a Triumph Chopper?

These BRONZE pick ups are always in accidents.

I would say grabbed from the 'gas' station the pick up driver retreated to first.

If you read the FULL article, it was not a bystander.

 

Quote

Mr. Jakkrit told Banglamung police that he was transporting workers to a worksite when the collision occurred. He stated he was stopped at a red light when he felt a forceful impact from behind. He saw the motorcycle on fire and immediately moved his vehicle to the gas station before extinguishing the flames and calling for help.

I did read the linked article and this was written:

 

Bystanders extinguished the fire with fire extinguishers before emergency services arrived

It ain't a chopper unless it's chopped. The bike in the OP is a bog standard production bike in cruiser style, nothing chopped about it.

Um.. no, it is a modified bike with extended forks  the one in this article does not look like a "chopper."
