A crash occurred in Pathum Thani province early morning on January 20 when a motorcyclist crashed into an overpass and died instantly.

 

At approximately 01:30 Pol. Lt. Weerawat Niyomsap, an investigator from Khlong Luang Police Station, received a report of a fatal motorcycle crash at the Homeplace flyover intersection on the Bangkhan-Nong Suea Road in Khlong Nueng subdistrict, Khlong Luang district. The incident involved a motorcyclist colliding with the overpass and resulted in the rider’s immediate death.

 

Police and traffic officers from Khlong Luang Police Station, forensic medical staff from Thammasat University Hospital, and rescue personnel from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation and the volunteer organisation Hongsakul were dispatched to the scene.

 

At the scene, officers discovered the deceased, identified as Mr. Den aged 43, from Ay Nan Lai village, Nan province. His lifeless body was found slumped over his Honda motorcycle, which was heavily damaged at the front. The impact had shattered the helmet he was wearing.

 

According to a witness, the victim had been travelling at high speed along the L1-2 canal road and failed to brake, leading to the violent collision with the Homeplace flyover intersection.

 

Pol. Lt. Weerawat recorded evidence from the scene and instructed Ruamkatanyu personnel to transfer the deceased’s body to the Thammasat University Hospital forensic department for further examination. Authorities are working to contact the victim’s family.

RIP, what a horrible accident.

 

Having said this, was he using his smartphone while driving?

Helmets are always a good idea and for those of us the ride we should use the best one that we can afford. They do save lives, however as a motorcyclist I can say that you always want to avoid trees, telephone poles, and concrete barriers such as an overpass. They are very unyielding and they usually result in something rather horrific.

Are any members here familiar with that area? I'm confused by the statement that he "crashed into an overpass". Did he run into one of the pillars holding it up, or is part of it low enough that he could literally knock his head against the span?

If the span was that low not much else would pass under it... lets just assume he hit one of the pillars

He died doing what he loved. 

 

Not paying attention to the world around him.
