A motorcyclist was killed in a collision, when his bike collided with a Toyota Fortuner making a U-turn in the middle of a well lit road. The driver of the SUV fled the scene, leaving the victim’s family devastated.

 

The accident occurred at 20:00 on October 22 on the Nakhon-Pak Phanang Road near the Na Luang intersection in Nakhon Si Thammarat. Pol. Col. Kittichai Kainara, chief of the Nakhon Si Thammarat City Police, received the report and rushed to the scene alongside medical staff from Maharaj Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital and rescue personnel from the Pracharuamjai Foundation.

 

At the scene, authorities found the body of 23-year-old Phuriwat (surname withheld), lying lifeless on the road, his face covered in blood. Nearby was his heavily modified motorcycle, completely destroyed.

 

Eyewitnesses stated that the silver Toyota Fortuner involved in the crash fled immediately after the accident. The SUV had been attempting a U-turn, when Phuriwat, driving at high speed and too close to avoid the vehicle, crashed into the left side of the SUV.

 

Phuriwat died instantly from the impact. Shortly after, his grieving family arrived at the scene, collapsing in tears upon seeing his body.

 

Police are currently reviewing footage from nearby CCTV cameras to identify and locate the driver of the SUV. The driver will face charges for fleeing the scene and failing to assist the victim. After an autopsy, the victim’s body will be released to his family.

Probably no helmet, modified bike, thin wheel and driving too quick. In other words playing on the street as usual. Instead of breaking down after, maybe his family should have explained the dangers of such activities before something happened.

Most bad, of course we have another part who flees the scene. We probably all know why as well. Most likely driving drunk as is the most common reason for accidents in Thailand
