A road crash at the Nong Samrong intersection in Udon Thani province has left one teenage student dead and another seriously injured after a motorcycle they were riding was struck by a speeding car.

 

The incident occurred at around 18:00 on the evening of 9 July. According to police reports, Miss Supatsorn Mukkang 15 and Miss Sirorat 17, both students from Udon Thani Technical College, were riding a black Honda PCX motorcycle on their way home after school. As they accelerated from the traffic lights, reportedly just as they turned green, they were hit by a white Ford EcoSport, registration plate from Udon Thani, which was rushing through the junction.

 

Emergency responders and forensic officers from Udon Thani Hospital were dispatched to the scene. Supatsorn was pronounced dead at the scene, while Sirorat was rushed to hospital in a critical condition.

 

The car’s driver, Miss Phichatom 52, remained at the scene and cooperated with police. She told investigators that she had just left the airport and was heading home to Phen District. She claimed the light on her side had just turned yellow and was changing to red, so she accelerated to pass through the intersection before the light turned fully red. At that same moment, the motorcycle entered the junction from the cross direction where the light had just turned green.

 

“I tried to brake, but it was too late,” she told police.

 

A classmate of the victims, a 15-year-old boy named Mon, witnessed the event. He said, “We had just left the college and were heading home. The light had turned green for us. Supatsorn accelerated quickly into the junction and the car came fast from the left. It hit her straight on.”

 

CCTV footage from the intersection confirms the sequence of events. The traffic light on the car’s side was turning from yellow to red, but the vehicle failed to stop. Meanwhile, the motorcycle started to move just as their light turned green. The collision occurred in the critical “amber gamble” moment, when both sides took chances at the change of lights.

 

Police have launched a full investigation into the incident and are reviewing the footage as part of the evidence to determine responsibility.
