A 17-year-old warehouse worker employed at Shopee lost his life in the early hours of morning after his motorcycle crashed into the rear of a parked pickup truck in Nonthaburi province. The fatal crash occurred on Kanchanaphisek Road, outbound lane, near the entrance to Wat Phra Ngoen in Bang Muang subdistrict, Bang Yai district.

 

Emergency services from Bang Yai Police Station and the Ruamkatanyu Foundation were dispatched to the scene at approximately 01:30 on 22 april, along with forensic medical personnel. The victim, identified as Mr. Thanatphong Khamenka-na, was found deceased at the rear of a white Toyota pickup truck, registration Nonthaburi. His red-and-black Honda Wave motorcycle, license plate Nonthaburi, was lodged beneath the pickup truck.

 

According to police and CCTV footage, the victim was returning home from work when he swerved to avoid a truck merging left from a U-turn. He lost control and collided with the stationary pickup truck at high speed. The impact proved fatal. CCTV footage also showed him narrowly missing another motorbike rider just moments before the crash.

 

The victim’s older brother, who had been riding ahead of him, reported that both had just finished their shift at the Shopee warehouse on Soi Wat Sri Prawat and were en route to their home on Soi Ban Kluai-Sai Noi. He recalled seeing the truck merging and managing to avoid it, but his younger brother, whose motorcycle had no functioning headlight, was not so fortunate. He believes the truck driver may not have seen the approaching motorbike, causing his brother to panic and lose control.
