A road crash claimed the life of a 76-year-old man after adriver crashed his car into the rear of the victim’s motorcycle, pushing it for over 50 metres along a bypass road in Chachoengsao province.

Police Lieutenant Chalermphon Satharam, a duty officer at Mueang Chachoengsao Police Station, received a report of the fatal collision on the Bang Phra bypass road, in front of a local gas station in Bang Phra subdistrict. Emergency services, including forensic doctors from Phutthasothon Hospital and Chachoengsao rescue volunteers, were dispatched to the scene.

At the scene, black skid marks could be seen trailing along the road, leading to the body of the deceased, identified as Mr. Charoen, aged 76. He was found with a severe forehead wound, abrasions across his torso and a broken right leg. Approximately 50 metres from the body, a red motorbike was found lodged into the front of the car. The windscreen of the car was cracked, with strands of hair and flesh, belonging to the victim stuck in the glass.

The driver of the car, 25-year-old Atichat, told police he had been driving from his home in Bang Khla district to work in Ban Pho district. According to his account, the motorbike suddenly emerged from a side road and veered abruptly into the right-hand lane.

The motorcycle became wedged in the vehicle and was pushed some distance.
