Belgian Biker Dies in Thai Traffic Incident

[webfact]

 

A Belgian man tragically died in a traffic accident while riding his motorcycle in northeastern Thailand's Roi Et province on the night of May 4th. The motorcyclist, identified as 67-year-old Jan Remi Van Welden, lost his life on Arun Prasert Road near the Khee Lek area entrance in the Pathumrat district around 10:00 PM. 

 

Local police and rescue personnel from Asoke Kasetwisai Foundation, alongside medical staff from Pathumrat Hospital, turned up at the crash site, where they found a white Triumph motorcycle with a storage box attached to the rear lying on a bridge.

 

Nearby, they located Mr. Van Welden's severely injured body, which displayed signs including a fractured skull suggesting he might have been hit by a vehicle.

 

However, preliminary searches by Pathumrat police did not reveal any collision indications or debris from another vehicle at the accident scene.

 

The area was cordoned off and evidence was collected for further investigation, with the cause of the crash still yet to be determined. 

 

Mr. Van Welden's body was later taken to a local hospital while the police began the process of reaching out to his family and embassy.
