Picture from responders.

 

A woman lost her life in a fatal collision involving a car and a motorcycle on Sukhumvit Road, heading towards Sattahip, opposite the Royal Thai Navy Sports Stadium. The crash occurred at around 09:10 on January 2.

 

Police Captain Ratchawut Sap Siri, the investigating officer from Plutaluang Police Station in Chonburi Province, rushed to the scene alongside medics from Queen Sirikit Naval Hospital and rescue workers from the Sawang Rojanathamsathan Foundation.

 

At the scene, first responders were performing CPR on Mrs Sunit, 67, who was lying in a pool of blood on the road. Despite their efforts, she succumbed to her injuries due to the severity of the wounds. She had been riding a blue Honda Scoopy motorbike, registration from Chonburi, which showed signs of a collision.

 

Nearby, officers found a grey Toyota car, registration from Bangkok, with damage to the front on the driver’s side. The driver, Ms Charunan, 27, was visibly distraught, crying over the incident.

 

Ms Charunan told police through tears that she had been driving straight at a normal speed when she approached a green traffic light at the intersection. Suddenly, Mrs Sunit rode her motorbike across the intersection, leaving Ms Charunan unable to stop in time. The car struck the motorbike forcefully, leading to the fatal collision.

 

Police recorded the details of the scene and will interview Ms Charunan and any witnesses to determine the exact circumstances of the crash and pursue legal proceedings accordingly.

RTP's policy of only working on Dangerous Days (for overtime) has resulted in 272 deaths in the first six days of this 'initiative'.  Nearly 40% of the accidents were caused by speeding.  IF RTP singled out this offence and worked EVERY day this year, maybe 2025 would not end so tragically for so many families.

Looks like the old dear made a fatal error at the crossing.

Car cameras should become compulsory equipment to save time & apportion blame in solving these terrible accidents

Update to my comment above; the death toll is now 321 in the seven dangerous days of police overtime.
