A high-speed motorbike crash in Ayutthaya has left a woman dead and a man seriously injured after their lost control of their vehicle and plunged into a roadside canal.

Police were alerted to the incident on the Ayutthaya–Sena road near the entrance to Wat Tha Ka Rong in Ban Pom subdistrict. The accident occurred when a blue Honda Wave 125i motorbike, registered in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, skidded along the road before crashing into a signpost and careering into the water.

Emergency responders from Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Hospital and the Ayutthaya Ruam Jai Rescue Association rushed to the scene. Passers-by had already pulled the victims—a 30-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman—from the canal. Both suffered severe head and facial injuries, and the woman was pronounced dead before reaching hospital.

The deceased has been identified as Ms. Chonthicha, a resident of Sena district. The injured man, named as Mr. Thanit, was taken to hospital for emergency treatment.

Eyewitnesses reported hearing the sound of the motorbike scraping along the road before seeing it plunge into the canal. A nearby CCTV camera captured the moment of the crash, which reportedly showed the motorbike travelling at high speed before they lost control.

Rescue worker Mr. Chainarong stated that initial reports indicated the motorbike was moving too fast to navigate the road safely. Police have since transported the woman’s body to the Institute of Forensic Science in Pathum Thani for further examination. Witnesses have also been called for questioning as part of the ongoing investigation.
