3am.

Black honda.

Rider likely in black clothing, with no lights, probably riding wrong way and drunk.

Unless the bike rider was at fault and came out of nowhere or suddenly swerved into the car.  Funny how some AN posters automatically lay the blame on Porsche drivers.

 

True but it's also funny how many imported cars end up in 'accidents'.

The amount of times, I've seen these cars driving recklessly along the motorways is insane. Talking of which, hows the Red Bull heir getting on these days or the girl who drove into the toll booths?

Yes, and Cambodian probably didn’t have insurance either.

Picture from responders

 

In the early hours of September 1, an  accident occurred in Chonburi Province when a luxury Porsche car collided head-on with a motorcycle, resulting in the death of a Cambodian construction worker. The incident took place at approximately 03:05 on Chaiyapruek 2 Road, Huay Yai Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District.

 

Police Lieutenant Pracharak Suriya, an investigator at Huay Yai Police Station, received a report of the accident involving a car and a motorcycle with one fatality. Rescue workers from Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation were immediately dispatched to the scene.

 

 

 

Upon arrival, authorities discovered skid marks on the road stretching over 10 metres, along with debris from a black Honda motorcycle, registered in Chonburi. The motorcycle had been thrown into a nearby wooded area, severely damaged. Lying in the grass was the lifeless body of the rider, a 23-year-old Cambodian construction worker named Mr. Oan, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

 

Approximately 100 metres away from the crash site, police found the other involved vehicle, a black Porsche Panamera with a red license plate. The car, worth over 10 million baht, was stationary in the opposite lane with its front wheel detached and lying by the roadside. The front left side of the car was significantly damaged. The driver, 37-year-old Mr. Pitchayapong, was waiting at the scene to provide his statement to the police.

 

According to Mr. Pitchayapong, he was driving straight along Chaiyapruek 2 Road when he heard a loud crash, causing the airbags to deploy. He claimed he did not see how the motorcycle appeared or how the collision occurred, and his vehicle then lost control and skidded along the road. After exiting the car, he discovered the fatal accident and promptly alerted the authorities.

 

However, Police Lieutenant Pracharak Suriya expressed doubts about Mr. Pitchayapong's account. The police have detained him for further investigation, including a blood alcohol test at a hospital.

 

Authorities will also review CCTV footage from the area to determine the true cause of the accident. The body of the deceased has been transported to Bang Lamung Hospital, where it will be held until relatives can claim it for religious rites.

As far as I know red plates are only allowed to drive at day time?

[richard_smith237]

Possibilities here...

 

1) 3am - Both likely to have been drinking

2) Fast Car - likely speeding

3) Motorcyclist in Thailand - Riding without lights

4) Motorcyclist in Thailand - Riding in wrong direction

5) Motorcyclist in Thailand - Pulled out in front of car without looking

 

 

Of course, none of the above can be proved - but to anyone who has spent any time here a minimum of 3 of the above possibilities are quite likely to have occurred.

 

The real surprise here is that the Porsche driver didn't flee.

So in summary, brake failure then?

Porsche drivers are cool......so cool they can read and text on their smartphones as they speed along.....who cares about some poor oink on a motorbike?

 

Skids marks? Presumably the Porsche has ABS and the motorbike was flung into to woods.....so where did the skid marks come from?

I don’t think that ABS works well if your car is a wheel short …

It's actually an honour to be killed by a Porsche, in Germany at least.

Yeh, once they get that airbag off that persons head.......

[Crabby XPatty]

Yes... further investigation is required...to investigate the Porsche owner's finances. These must be the best cases for RTP...a poor foreign worker that doesn't matter and a rich drunk Thai.  This is the last we'll hear of this case...case closed...a few corrupt people a few million richer.

Not possible with the car.

Too drunk to run?

Belonging to the untouchable class, buying out with pocket money?

No mob lynching to fear at 3 AM on Ch.p.2

Maybe also a good idea to take a blood test of the deceased motorcycle driver. He might have been on his way home from a good night out.

Was the lights on the motorcycle working?

[TheFishman1]

If the guy was driving the Ferrari and killed the biker, he could just like fly to Singapore live the highlife in London don’t worry about no red notices amazing Thailand TT

[ronster]

Took 100m to stop after the airbags went off would suggest he might have been speeding.

Probably but Porsche could have bounced off something else.

I doubt we'll ever know what happened...

He could have braked hard before he hit the bike.
