A 30-year-old man was killed instantly in the early hours of the morning of 2 July, when his motorcycle collided with a tour bus on a major highway in Lampang province. 

The crash occurred at approximately 04:05 on Highway 1, inbound to Lampang, near Moo 1 in Sala subdistrict, Ko Kha district. Pol. Lt. Col. Montri Duangwana, an investigator from Ko Kha Police Station, responded to the scene along with forensic doctors from Ko Kha Hospital and rescue volunteers.

At the scene, officers discovered a black Honda motorcycle registered in Chiang Mai lying damaged in the middle of the road, surrounded by broken parts. The body of the motorcyclist, identified as Mr. Natdanai aged 30, was found nearby. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

About 40 metres from the body, a blue-and-white tour bus, registered in Bangkok and operated by a private company, was found parked in the same lane. The front left side of the bus was visibly damaged. The bus driver, Mr. Paisan 53, was present at the scene and cooperated with the authorities.

Preliminary examination of the body was carried out at the scene, before the deceased was transferred to Lampang Hospital.

The cause of the collision is still under investigation. Police are reviewing evidence, examining both vehicles and gathering witness statements, but initial findings indicate that the motorcycle was travelling at speed, on the wrong side of the road.
