A crash occurred at the Huai Pong Market intersection in Rayong’s Muang district when a truck ran a red light and collided with a motorcycle, killing the motorcyclist instantly.

 

The incident was reported to Huai Pong Police Station at approximately 11:40 on November 21. Emergency responders from the Sawang Porngkusol Rayong Rescue Unit were dispatched to the scene.

 

Upon arrival, authorities found a black motorcycle with license plate from Rayong lying severely damaged in the middle of the road. Nearby, a six-wheel delivery truck with license plate from Chanthaburi showed damage on its left side. Tragically, the motorcyclist, identified as 54-year-old Damrong Sriburin, was pronounced dead at the scene.

 

CCTV footage revealed that the truck ran the red light as the signal changed from yellow to red, while the motorcyclist had just received a green light and proceeded through the intersection. The collision occurred as both vehicles entered the intersection simultaneously.

 

The truck driver, identified as Patcharapol Prasatketkan, stated that he was transporting water and milk to Sattahip. He admitted that he was unable to stop in time as the light turned red and attempted to cautiously cross the intersection, but it was too late to avoid the motorcycle.

 

Police are conducting a thorough investigation, including reviewing CCTV footage and gathering witness statements, to determine further legal actions.

Does not look cautious to me.

One thing I've learned in Thailand... Never be at the front of the pack at a red light... Hang back just in case there is a red light runner. Always LOOK for those same a+holes 

 

Motorbike rider never looked right. 

 

RIP 🙏

No excuse for the truck driver but the motorcyclist looks to be a bit early off the mark like many motorcyclists do. But then.....R.I.P.

It's  called anticipation. A green light that as been showing for a while means you should be prepared to stop. That's why I don't like timers on traffic lights. Drivers accelerate at them to try and get through and when they get it wrong end up unable to stop in time.
