A carsh has claimed the life of a 13-year-old schoolboy after a collision between a pickup truck and a motorcycle on a two-lane road in Lamphun province.

 

The incident occurred at approximately 18:00 on 3 July, on the Jak Kam Phimuk–Ban Klang Thung Road in Rim Ping subdistrict, Mueang Lamphun district. Officers from the Lamphun City Police Station, along with rescue workers from the Khon Mueang Lamphun Rescue Association and medical personnel, were dispatched to the scene following reports of the fatal crash.

 

Upon arrival, responders discovered the body of a 13-year-old boy lying motionless in the middle of the roadway. A blue Honda motorcycle with registration from Lamphun was found overturned nearby. The other vehicle involved, a Toyota pickup truck bearing the registration from Chiang Mai, was parked a short distance away.

 

Police have initially transported the boy’s body to the hospital for formal procedures. The driver of the pickup truck has been taken in for questioning as part of the legal process. His initial statement was that that the youth was travelling at speed and veered head on into his vehicle.

 

The cause of the crash remains under investigation, but there appears to be no other witnesses to the collision or CCTV covering the scene.

13 year old and on a motorcycle... where is the responsibility of the parents, the  RTP who doesn't do anything and the wearing of helmet, no drivers license .... The driver of the pick up will be charged of course, as the law in Thailand state that the bigger vehicle is always wrong, but in fact teh Government and the RTP with the parents are responsible
