A 31-year-old man was killed after being run over by an LPG tanker, just moments after inviting his mother to share a lunchtime bowl of instant noodles. The fatal crash, occurred on the morning of 3 June on Highway 347, near the Bang Pahan interchange in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province.

 

Police Lieutenant Patcharapath Nueangphan, an investigator at Bang Pahan Police Station, received the emergency call around 10:30 and rushed to the scene with rescue units from Ayutthaya Ruamjai Foundation.

 

At the site, authorities found a LPG tanker parked. Beneath the right front wheel was the lifeless body of Mr. Phetthae aged 31, whose remains showed severe injuries, with body parts torn and scattered on the road. Nearby, his damaged red Honda Wave motorbike lay.

 

The lorry driver, Mr. Watchara, 53, gave a statement to police, explaining that he was driving in the right lane when he noticed the motorcycle approaching to overtake. According to him, the bike rider, lost balance and then fell under the lorry, leading to the fatal injuries.

 

Shortly after the incident, the victim’s mother, Ms. Phuttharaksa, 59, arrived at the scene in tears. She told reporters that her son worked delivering auto parts and had invited her to cook and share some instant noodles for lunch just before leaving for work.

 

“I was about to prepare lunch with him. He left first to deliver parts, and just a short while later, I was told he had died,” she said, grief-stricken.

 

Police have documented the incident scene and taken the lorry driver in for further questioning. Legal proceedings are ongoing as investigations continue into the exact cause of the crash.
