An incident occurred in Lampang province when a motorcycle crashed into the rear of a parked lorry, resulting in the death of the rider. The incident took place at around 11:20 on January 20, on the Phalad-Mae Mo Road, just before the Phalad intersection, in the Phra Bat Subdistrict of Mueang Lampang District.

 

According to the report from the Lampang Provincial Police, a motorcycle, identified as a red and black Honda Wave, collided with the rear of a stationary 18-wheeler lorry. The rider, later identified as Mr. Phadungsak, 44, from the Nakhrua Subdistrict of Mae Tha District, was found lifeless at the scene. His head and face were severely injured, and he was surrounded by a pool of blood. A black helmet was found approximately five metres from his body, having been knocked off by the impact.

 

The lorry, which had been parked along the road, was driven by Mr. Apinan, who explained that he had just delivered goods and stopped to take a break. The motorcycle was found wedged into the back of the parked vehicle, with significant damage to the front.

 

Preliminary investigations suggest that the motorcyclist may have been returning home after a long shift. It is believed that he was travelling at high speed and failed to brake in time upon noticing the lorry parked in his path, resulting in the fatal collision.

 

The body has been taken to Lampang Hospital and the authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the exact cause of the collision.

My friend used to travel 40 miles each way after work on his Lambretta to see his girlfriend. He said sometimes he fell asleep on the journey home, unconsciously steering on the road he knew well. Somehow he survived.

Running into stationary objects seems to be an epidemic here in Thailand, Darwin at work I guess.

With a Lambretta, maybe I'm wrong but I remember that scooter about 62 years ago, are they still made?

Way too many accidents like this.  A Thai I know ran into the back of a parked farm tractor.  Was not killed, but his suffering for life is not good.
