A M6 student was killed after a motorcycle crash led to him being struck by a fully-loaded lorry in Huai Ma District, Phrae Province.

 

The incident occurred in the early evening of 10 June, on the Rong Fong–Pa Daeng Road near Dr. Kimhan Clinic and the entrance to the Ban Pong Sri crematorium in Moo 6, Ban Thin Subdistrict.

 

According to reports from Police Sub-Lieutenant Sitthipot Thananchai, the investigating officer from Huai Ma Police Station, the student, identified only as “A”, was riding his motorcycle home from school with two friends after classes had ended. The group had planned to stop for haircuts.

 

Eyewitnesses, including a friend of the deceased, stated that “A” was riding alone while his friends were on separate bikes. As they approached the scene, a car in front caused “A” to lose control of his motorcycle, leading to a collision with one of his friend’s bike. “A” was thrown onto the road.

 

A stone-carrying lorry following closely behind was unable to stop in time due to its heavy load and struck the student. Emergency responders from the Ban Thin municipal rescue unit attempted CPR at the scene and a Phrae hospital ambulance was dispatched. Despite efforts, “A” succumbed to his injuries shortly afterwards.

 

The 29-year-old lorry driver, Mr. Natthakorn, stated that he was transporting stone from a company depot to a shop in Ban Thin. He said he saw the motorbikes collide and attempted to brake, but the vehicle’s momentum made it impossible to stop in time. He remained at the scene and cooperated fully with authorities.

 

Police recorded the scene and are continuing to investigate the incident. Further interviews and evidence will be gathered to determine the accountability of the crash.
