A 56-year-old female civil servant was tragically killed in a road accident on January 10, when a car driven by a 70-year-old man collided with her motorcycle near Lampang. The incident occurred as the victim was on her way to work at the Lampang Irrigation Office.

 

The accident took place at a U-turn on the Phahonyothin Road (Lampang-Phayao section) in Ban Mon Khao Kaew, Pichai Subdistrict, Mueang Lampang District. Local police, medics from Lampang Hospital, and rescue teams from the Pichai Municipality and the Lampang Rescue Association responded to the scene.

 

At the scene, officers found the victim lying in the middle of the road near her red Yamaha motorcycle (registration from Lampang). She had sustained severe head injuries and a broken right leg, and was pronounced dead at the scene. The front of her motorcycle was damaged.

 

Nearby, a silver Toyota Vios (registration from Lampang) was parked with visible damage to the left front side. The driver, a 70-year-old man, was unharmed.

 

According to initial investigations, the victim had been riding her motorcycle to work when the collision occurred. The car, which was returning from Lampang Hospital after the driver had a blood test, was attempting to make a U-turn into a nearby village when it collided with the motorcycle. The impact caused the victim to be thrown off her motorcycle, hitting her head on the road.

 

Authorities transported the body to the hospital for further procedures and will conduct a detailed investigation to determine fault. The victim’s family, devastated by the news, has been informed and will collect the body for funeral arrangements.
