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.

Used to safeguard brains contained within.

Appears no brains were present at the time.
