A fatal collision occurred in the early hours of 26 January, when a Toyota Camry crashed into two motorcycles travelling against traffic on Taling Chan railway road, leaving two people dead and another seriously injured. The car overturned, and the driver was found unconscious at the scene.

 

At approximately 01:00, Police Lieutenant Amornpong Tuytha, Deputy Inspector of Taling Chan Police Station, received a report of a crash involving a car and two motorcycles on Taling Chan railway road, near the Karnjanapisek intersection, Bangkok. Officers, forensic specialists from Siriraj Hospital, and Poh Teck Tung Foundation volunteers rushed to the scene.

 

Under the U-turn bridge, a black Honda Wave 125 motorcycle with registration from Bangkok was found severely damaged near the central reservation. The driver, a 19-year-old male identified as Mr. Phongsaphak, was critically injured and unconscious. He was immediately transported to Siriraj Hospital.

 

Nearby, another Honda Wave 110 motorcycle, blue in colour with registration also from Bangkok, was found wrecked on the median. Two people were pronounced dead at the scene. The rider, Mr. Natchapol, 22, was discovered with head trauma, broken arms and legs, lying in a pool of blood. The passenger, Miss Airada, 24, was also found with multiple fractures.

 

A grey Toyota Camry with registration plate from Bangkok was found overturned. The driver, Mr. Warong, 32, was unconscious inside the vehicle and was rescued by emergency personnel before being transported to Siriraj Hospital.

 

Authorities are reviewing CCTV footage from the area to determine the exact cause of the collision. Preliminary investigations suggest the motorcycles were travelling against traffic when the crash occurred and the car traveling at speed overturned after the collision. Further investigations are underway.

More bad driving habits....

[Ctkong]

Again bad driving habits. Excuse of driving against traffic for years having no bad outcome is just an accident waiting to happen depending upon the oncoming vehicle’s driving habit. 99.9% safety only meant that out of 1000 times there is one time that you don’t make it. So if you drive as such for 3 years, there will be a time when you come up badly.

Just another day on the roads...

Very sad, however when motor cycles are driven on the wrong side of the road, against moving traffic, an accident is almost inevitable.
