A 20-year-old rock band drummer lost his life in a high-speed crash after reportedly driving under the influence of alcohol. The incident occurred late at night on a rural road in Mueang Chaiyaphum district.

 

Police and rescue teams were not called to the scene until the next morning to the incident on the Chaiyaphum-Tat Ton Road, near kilometre marker 8-9 in front of Rungwiman Resort, in Tambon Nafai, after local residents reported a serious accident. Officers from Mueang Chaiyaphum Police Station, led by Pol. Lt. Siri Jandeesri, confirmed that a blue Nissan car had struck a roadside streetlight before spinning off into a grass-covered area beside the road.

 

The vehicle was found completely wrecked, and next to it lay the lifeless body of a young man later identified as Sakdanan Kulwong, a resident of Phu Khieo district in Chaiyaphum province. Sakdanan, was the drummer for local rock group “Rock Koeb Sia,”. His body showed extensive injuries, including facial lacerations from broken glass, multiple fractures, and a broken neck. Medical personnel at the scene estimated he had been dead for at least six hours prior to discovery.

 

Preliminary investigations revealed that Sakdanan had spent the evening drinking with friends at a nightlife venue near Chaiyaphum Rajabhat University. According to witnesses, he borrowed money from a friend before deciding to drive to meet his girlfriend at a restaurant in central Chaiyaphum.

 

Police believe he lost control of the car before it struck the streetlight, causing him to be ejected through the front windscreen before the vehicle spun off the road and came to rest in the undergrowth.

 

The body was transported to Chaiyaphum Hospital for a full autopsy.

Glad he's gone. One less to worry about. If every drunk driver killed just themself I'd have no issues.
