A collision at a red-light intersection in Ban Khai District, Rayong, resulted in the deaths of a motorcycle driver and passenger, on November 1. The crash occurred as the motorcycle, reportedly speeding, ran a red light and crashed into a delivery truck.

 

Police Lieutenant Chatchawan Petnok, an investigator from Ban Khai Police Station, responded to the incident at the Takhun-Chak Bok intersection. At the scene, authorities found the bodies of two victims: a 43-year-old woman identified as Ms. Prathumma Khiaophrain from Nakhon Pathom, and an unidentified man approximately 50 years old. Both had suffered severe head trauma and broken limbs. Near them lay a heavily damaged red-and-black Honda Wave motorcycle with the license plate from Rayong.

 

Approximately 10 metres away, police located the involved vehicle, a gold Toyota delivery truck with the license plate from Rayong, parked on the roadside. The driver’s side door bore visible dents and blood stains from the impact. Mr. Reak Mive, a Cambodian national who was driving the truck, remained at the scene to cooperate with police.

 

According to Mr. Mive, he was transporting boxes of fruit from Chonburi to a factory in Tapong, Rayong, when the accident occurred. As he approached the intersection with a green light, he continued through it, only to see the motorcycle speeding from the side against a red light. Despite other vehicles waiting at the light, the motorcycle did not brake and struck his truck with great force.

 

Investigators from Ban Khai Police Station are conducting a thorough investigation, questioning witnesses, reviewing CCTV footage, and analyzing the scene to determine the exact cause of the crash. Legal proceedings will follow based on their findings.
