A fatal crash claimed the life of a 68 year old Belgian man on October 28 near Ban Lak Khet Bridge in Khemarat District, Ubon Ratchathani Province. The tragic incident, which involved the man losing control of his motorcycle, was reported to authorities around 15:05.

 

According to reports, the man, whose identity has not yet been released, was traveling near the bridge when he apparently lost control of his motorcycle, causing it to veer off the road. The area, currently under road construction, features a drop-off alongside the roadway, where his body and motorcycle were discovered.

 

Emergency responders from Khong Chiam Hospital, along with the Thiwa Khong Chiam Rescue Foundation and the Ubon Ratchathani Provincial Police, arrived at the scene and found the victim with head injuries, a fractured right leg, lacerations on his right foot and knee, and multiple abrasions. Despite efforts to assist, the man was pronounced dead on-site due to the extent of his injuries.

 

The Thiwa Khong Chiam Rescue Foundation facilitated the transport of the man’s body first to Khong Chiam Hospital for an examination, after which it was transferred to Sappasit Hospital in Ubon Ratchathani for an autopsy.

 

The investigation, led by Police Lieutenant Kritsada Chaichat, is ongoing as authorities examine potential factors in the crash, including road conditions and other contributing circumstances surrounding the incident.
