A female student riding her motorcycle to school was injured after colliding with a car driven by a doctor in Phimai, Nakhon Ratchasima. The student became trapped under the vehicle, and the police are investigating the incident to determine fault.

 

At approximately 08:15 on February 26, Police Lieutenant Colonel Prayoon Katiya, Deputy Investigator at Phimai Police Station, was alerted to the crash near the Phimai Boat Racing Bridge, close to the Phimai New Market intersection. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene.

 

Authorities found a white Honda City car, registered in Ubon Ratchathani, with damage to the right front wing. The driver, identified as Dr. Wachirawit, works at Phimai Hospital. The injured student, 17-year-old Suchanan from Samrit Sub-district, was lying on the road with her right leg trapped beneath the car. Dr. Wachirawit assessed her injuries while waiting for the rescue team from Phimai Hospital to arrive.

 

Nearby, officers discovered a black Honda PCX motorcycle belonging to the student, which had sustained front-end damage. The police took photographs of the scene for evidence before having the motorcycle removed to clear the road for traffic.

 

Dr. Wachirawit stated that he was driving from his home to work at the hospital when he approached the intersection and collided with the student’s motorcycle, which was travelling straight ahead.

 

Police suspect that both parties were in a hurry during the busy morning hours, which may have contributed to the collision. They are thoroughly investigating the incident, examining evidence from the scene, reviewing nearby CCTV footage, and interviewing both parties and witnesses to determine the cause of the accident. The findings will be used to complete the legal process surrounding the incident.
