A 45-year-old man died at the scene after his motorcycle collided with a car parked against the flow of traffic on a rural road in Tha Sala district, Nakhon Si Thammarat.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Somchai Muaydee, Deputy Superintendent of Tha Sala Police Station, received a report of a fatal road crash involving a motorcycle and a car on Ban Thung Prue Road, Moo 7, Sakaeo subdistrict. Officers, along with an investigative team, a medical examiner and volunteers from the Siam Ruamjai Pu In Foundation, were dispatched to the scene.

 

Authorities discovered a silver bronze Mazda, registration number from Nakhon Si Thammarat, parked facing the wrong direction on the roadside. The car had visible damage to its front-left side. Nearby, a heavily damaged green Honda motorcycle, registration from Chonburi, lay in a roadside ditch.

The body of Mr Jirasak, 45, a local resident of Sakaeo, was found under a banana tree beside the road. He had sustained severe chest trauma and a broken neck, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

 

Initial investigations indicate that the victim had been riding along the road and, upon entering a curve, encountered the stationary car. Unable to brake in time, he crashed directly into it and was thrown off the motorcycle into the roadside vegetation.

 

Police are continuing to investigate whether the car had been parked illegally or had been travelling against traffic before stopping. Witness statements and further evidence are being collected as legal proceedings move forward.
