An 18-year-old motorcyclist was killed instantly after losing control of his high-powered motorcycle while overtaking a car at high speed in Nonthaburi province.

 

The incident occurred around 21:00 on 26 June, along the inbound Bang Kruai–Sai Noi Road, approximately one kilometre before reaching Kanchanaphisek Road in Bang Bua Thong district. Local police from Bang Bua Thong Police Station, along with volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation and medical personnel, responded swiftly to the scene.

 

Upon arrival, officers found the body of Mr. Pantawan, aged 18, lying on the central reservation, more than 30 metres from where his Yamaha R7 black big bike (registered in Chonburi) had skidded off the road. The motorcycle had collided with a street sign and a decorative plant pot outside a glass and aluminium fitting shop.

 

There was no sign of another vehicle at the scene. Investigators discovered a long scrape mark along the central island, indicating the likely path of the bike as it veered out of control.

 

CCTV footage from a nearby roadside business captured the moment the deceased overtook a black saloon car at high speed, producing a loud engine noise that drew the attention of local residents seen in the video. The crash occurred just beyond the camera’s field of view. Additional dashcam footage from both the front and rear of a passing motorist’s car also recorded parts of the incident.

 

Police documented the scene thoroughly. No eyewitnesses were able to confirm the exact cause of the crash, but officers are now analysing all available CCTV footage to determine whether the rider lost control on his own or was involved in a collision.

 

The body of the deceased was transferred to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for examination.

 

Authorities continue to investigate the precise circumstances surrounding the incident.
