Two vocational students were involved in a fatal crash when their motorcycle collided with a luxury Maserati. One student died on the scene, while the other was critically injured. The incident occurred on the evening of October 8, as the two were returning home after class.

 

At approximately 18:40, Pol. Lt. Thanakorn Suetrong, Deputy Inspector at Na Jomtien Police Station, received a report of a crash on Rural Road ChB 1003 near Khao Chi Chan Forest Park, Na Jomtien, Sattahip District. Emergency responders from Yan Sang Wararam Hospital and Sawang Rojanatham Sathan Rescue Foundation were immediately dispatched to the scene.

 

 

Upon arrival, authorities found two male students, both aged 17, involved in the crash. The passenger sustained serious injuries, including cuts and bruises, and a broken left leg. He was quickly transported to Yan Sang Wararam Hospital for treatment. Tragically, the driver was found dead at the scene. Both students were in their first year of vocational training.

 

Nearby, the authorities discovered a badly damaged black Yamaha motorcycle with Rayong license plate. The front of the motorcycle was completely wrecked. Approximately 100 metres from the crash site, a black Maserati, driven by an unidentified Russian national, was found with severe damage to its left side, including a shattered front window and broken wheel. The foreign driver, who refused to provide his name or speak with the media, waited at the scene to give a statement to the police.

 

The grandmother of the deceased student, Mrs. Naowarat Jaroonlert, 59, arrived at the scene and tearfully confirmed her grandson’s identity. Devastated by the loss, she explained that her grandson had just finished his classes and was on his way home to Ban Chang, Rayong, when the accident occurred.

 

The police have recorded evidence from the scene and will question the Maserati driver further. Investigators are awaiting the recovery of the injured student to gain more information on the cause of the accident before proceeding with legal action.

I feel sorry for these kids and their families, RIP.

 

These kids were 17, so definitely had no license. I see this daily around schools where hundreds of kids, 2-3 per motorbike, usually no helmet, all to young to have a license, arrive and park at their school. The school don't care, parents don't care and the police don't care ????

Looks like the car drove on wrong side of road

I think it's you who need to learn your facts. That motorcycle is over 110cc so you need to be 18 or over. Between 15 and 18 you can only ride a 110cc vehicle. 

[pattjock]

When you are 15 you can get a learners permit. If you drive with this you must be accompanied by a driver that has had a drivers license for a minimum of 3 years. No independent driving is allowed. You can not drive a 110cc alone without a drivers license,

[Gottfrid]

Above there are a lot of misinformation. This is how it is.

At 15 years of age you can get something called a learners permit, which allows young people to drive 110 cc motorbike or less.

 

At 18 years of age you can get a real motorbike license that let´s you drive any motorbike as it is today. Talks have been made that they should make a specific license for bikes over 250 or 300 cc, but that idea has stranded.

So, in reality, we do not know if the driver of the motorbike had a license, nor if he drove a legal size of motorbike.

Please dont post nonsense. 

 

Thai law allows a student of 15 years old to apply for a license which allows them to operate a motor scooter at 110cc or less. To obtain a license to operate a car or motorcycle over 110cc, applicants must be 18 years of age. All expats living in Thailand are required to get a Thai drivers license.Feb 1, 2566 BE

There’s just not enough details for anyone to be making any judgments.
