A crash occurred on the Nong Kham-Nong Leng Road in Sriracha, Chonburi, when a motorcycle rider lost control and crashed into a pickup truck, leading to the rider’s death.

 

The incident was reported to the Nong Kham Police Station in Sriracha at around 15.00 on November 16. The motorcycle, a black Yamaha, was speeding and failed to navigate a sharp curve before crashing into an Isuzu pickup truck. The impact sent the rider, identified as 52-year-old Sutthin Kusita, flying through the air. His body landed on the hood of the truck, then fell to the ground and was dragged by the vehicle for some distance.

 

The driver of the pickup truck, 47-year-old Kasem, stopped at the scene and waited for police. He explained that he was driving from the Nong Kham area when the motorcycle, traveling at high speed, suddenly veered into his path and struck the front of his vehicle. The collision caused the rider to be thrown onto the truck’s hood before falling to the road. In a state of shock, Kasem said he accidentally accelerated, dragging the body off the road and into a nearby field, where it was discovered underneath the vehicle. The victim was confirmed dead from neck injuries and multiple abrasions.

 

Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances of the crash. Sutthin’s body was transferred to the Laem Chabang Hospital for an autopsy. Meanwhile, Kasem was taken into custody for questioning as police continue their investigation.

At age 52 you'd think he'd have learnt some road sense.
