At 21:00 on March 23, Police Lieutenant Colonel Thanit Thipakdee, Deputy Head of Investigation at Sattahip Police Station, was notified of a serious collision involving a pickup truck and a motorcycle on Sukhumvit Road, heading into Sattahip, just before the Bang Saray intersection, in Bang Saray, Sattahip District, Chonburi Province. The crash left one individual critically injured.

 

Upon arrival at the scene, authorities found a 34-year-old man, later identified as Mr. Chawalit, suffering from severe injuries. He had a large wound on his left abdomen and abrasions on his back. 

 

 

Emergency responders provided immediate first aid before transferring him to Sattahip Hospital, Kilometre 10. Nearby, authorities discovered the wrecked motorcycle, a Yamaha Filano in beige and grey, with license plate number from Chonburi. The motorcycle had been badly damaged and was wedged between a red Ford pickup truck with license plate from Suphanburi, which had significant damage to its front end.

 

The driver of the truck, identified as 47-year-old Ms. Sirikarn, was found in a state of shock and refused to provide a statement.

Eyewitnesses reported that the pickup truck had been driving erratically at high speed since leaving Pattaya. The truck swerved across lanes before crashing into the back of the motorcycle, causing the severe injuries.

 

Investigators have questioned the driver of the pickup truck about the cause of the crash. Additionally, CCTV footage from the area has captured the incident, showing the pickup truck speeding before the impact. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities plan to gather further testimonies from the driver and the injured motorcyclist to proceed with legal action.

An adolescent troll comment removed. @Ralf001

Did he claim brake failure?

Manslaughter and jail time in many western countries.

SIck.

The scary thing is this could happen to anyone of us who use a motorcycle, however well and carefully one drives it.

Not worth it to drive one any further than to the 7-11 around the block

Yes, I'm always looking behind when I'm on a motorbike, best to move out of the fast lane ASAP because vehicles are doing 100+ sometimes in that area

And undertaking in the 'slow' left lane too! 

I was a professional cyclist in my younger days.  I now only use walking as my early morning exercise. I woudn't dream of riding a cycle in Pattaya. Walking can be dangerous too at times as they watch their favorite soapies on their devices taking their eyes off the road. I've also noticed when they're talking to a person sitting on the front seat besides them they take their eyes off the road looking at the person they're talking to.

Another day and another incompetent Thai driving a powerful agricultural vehicle like a sports car.

 

Without enforcement of the road laws, it's carnage out there.

i feel more exposed walking vs cycling. Motorbikes are fine, gives so many options, just need to be careful
