Picture from responders.

 

A fatal collision occurred at approximately 07:35 in 27 January, near the entrance to Ban Nong Nae in Moo 2, Tambon Sa Phang, Khao Yoi District, Phetchaburi. The collision involved a timber truck and a cyclist, resulting in the death of the cyclist.

 

Rescue volunteers from the Sawang Sanphet Rescue Foundation, together with emergency medical responders from the Nong Chumphon Subdistrict Administrative Organisation, rushed to the scene along the parallel lanes of Phetkasem Road heading towards Bangkok.

 

Upon arrival, rescuers discovered the body of the deceased, a Myanmar national, lying face down near a green bicycle. The victim sustained severe head injuries, including a fractured skull, with skull matter scattered at the scene.

 

Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim was riding their bicycle when they were struck by a Hino Mega timber truck. The impact caused the cyclist to be thrown into a signpost, leading to fatal injuries. The truck, which had sustained damage to its front-left side, was found approximately 350 metres from the collision site.

 

Authorities also reported damage to public property, including a streetlight pole that was knocked down during the incident.

 

After forensic examination by on-duty medical personnel and police officers, the body of the deceased was transported to Wat Tham Kaeo Temple by the Sawang Sanphet Rescue Foundation.

 

The cause of the incident remains under investigation by local police.
