A man and woman lost their lives in the early hours of the morning of 8 June, after their motorcycle collided head-on with a Mitsubishi Pajero in Chachoengsao province.

 

The fatal collision occurred at approximately 04:30 on the canal-side road near Chuat Chado Bridge in Moo 6, Kon Kaew subdistrict, Khlong Khuean district. Police Lieutenant Thanawam Champahom, an investigator from Khlong Khuean Police Station, responded to the scene alongside forensic doctors from Khlong Khuean Hospital and local rescue personnel.

 

The road, a two-lane carriageway, became the site of a gruesome scene. Officers found a severely damaged Honda Wave motorcycle with Chachoengsao plates lying on its side, blocking the centre of the road. The front end was crushed, the engine shattered, and the front wheel had detached entirely. Debris was scattered across the tarmac.

 

Approximately 10 metres away, a Mitsubishi Pajero bearing Bangkok registration was discovered straddling the lane. Its front end was crumpled and the bonnet forced open. Blood stains were visible on the rear-left side of the roof, alongside a hair tie presumed to belong to one of the victims.

Lying nearby were the bodies of two individuals, believed to be between 20 and 25 years old. The woman was wearing white shorts and a long-sleeved black top. She had no identification documents on her and was found face down, bleeding profusely from the head with a clearly broken neck.

 

The male victim, also undocumented, was wearing black shorts and a navy hoodie. He too was lying face down, with significant bleeding from his head, forehead and chest, consistent with a high-impact collision.

 

After an initial examination, both bodies were transferred to Phutthasothon Hospital for further forensic analysis and to await identification by next of kin.

 

Mr Piyapong 48, the driver of the Pajero, told police he had been driving to his girlfriend’s house in Mueang district when the incident occurred. He stated that the motorcycle appeared to veer into his lane as the rider seemed to be turning to speak with the passenger.

 

“It happened so fast,” Mr Piyapong said. “I tried to swerve, but couldn’t avoid the collision. I didn’t even have time to sound the horn.”

 

Police have stated that Mr Piyapong will be summoned for further questioning at Khlong Khuean Police Station as they work to determine the precise cause of the crash. Legal proceedings will follow as necessary based on the investigation’s outcome.
