A man and a woman were injured in Samut Prakan after their motorcycle was struck by a fallen communication cable, causing them to crash. The incident occurred on the Old Sukhumvit Road in Bang Pu Subdistrict, Mueang District, on morning of 7 March.

 

Emergency services from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation were dispatched to the scene following reports of the accident. Upon arrival, they found the injured individuals, identified as Mr. Chotanan Sirichaiawatkul, 34, and Ms. Prowalee Srithongsap, 31. Both received initial medical treatment at the scene before being transported to Chularat 5 Hospital.

 

Nearby, rescue workers discovered a damaged blue Honda motorcycle, registered in Bangkok, lying in the middle of the road. A broken communication cable was also found sprawled across the roadway.

 

According to eyewitnesses, the crash was caused when a passing lorry became entangled with overhead cables, pulling them down onto the road just as the motorcycle was passing. The rider were caught in the wires and lost control of their vehicle, resulting in the crash.

 

Local police from Bang Pu Police Station have launched an investigation into the incident. Authorities are coordinating with the responsible telecommunications provider to determine accountability and ensure necessary legal action is taken.
