A 52-year-old woman was killed in a road crash on the evening of 3 April, while returning home from the local market and just moments before reaching her destination. The collision, involving a car on its way to a funeral, left the victim dead at the scene, with her groceries scattered across the road.

 

The incident occurred at around 19:30 at the intersection beneath the elevated bridge on Phetkasem Road in Na Ta Luang Subdistrict, Mueang Trang District. Pol. Lt. Sumet Jitphet, Deputy Inspector of Ban Khlong Teng Police Station, responded to the call, along with medical staff from Trang Hospital, municipal rescue teams, and highway authorities.

 

Emergency responders found the woman, a resident of Thap Thiang Subdistrict, lying on the road with injuries, including head trauma and an exposed fracture to her right leg. Her blue-and-black Honda Wave motorcycle was heavily damaged, with broken parts scattered across the intersection. Beside her were the remains of grocery bags, their contents strewn across the tarmac.

 

The car involved was a black Honda sedan, bearing registration from Trang. The vehicle’s front right side was damaged, with the windshield shattered and both front airbags deployed. The 73-year-old male driver told authorities he had just picked up his grandson from Trang Airport and was en route to a relative’s funeral when the crash occurred.

 

According to initial investigations, the victim had just finished shopping at a night market beneath the overpass and was riding her motorcycle home when the collision happened in the middle of the intersection.

 

The body was sent to Trang Hospital for further examination, while police are reviewing CCTV footage to determine the exact cause of the crash. The family has been notified and will proceed with funeral arrangements.

I've got a few friends in their 70's, still riding their 1200cc Ducati's competently.

Driving their cars everyday, no problem. 

 

I'd prefer them on our roads than some of the youth these days.
