A 24-year-old man has died in a gruesome motorcycle accident in Rayong province, with his body almost severed in two after crashing his dirt bike in the early hours of the morning of 13 July.

 

The incident occurred on Road 3574, in the Khao Noi–Pad Phraek area of Pluak Daeng district. Police and emergency services rushed to the scene after receiving reports from a passing motorist who discovered the wreckage.

 

Police investigator Pol. Sub-Lt. Wisitchai Duang-art of Pluak Daeng Police Station, accompanied by a hospital physician from Pluak Daeng Hospital, confirmed the fatality upon arrival. The deceased, identified as Mr. Teerapong, aged 24, was found lifeless next to his dirt bike in the middle of the road. His torso was nearly severed, with internal organs visibly exposed.

 

Initial examinations revealed no sign of another vehicle involved. However, the front of the motorbike bore damage consistent with a collision. Officers photographed the scene for evidence and transported the body for forensic examination. The motorcycle has been impounded for further inspection.

 

Mr. Pisanut, 36, was the first person to discover the crash. “I had just finished work and was riding home when I saw a black object in the middle of the road,” he said. “When I got closer, I realised it was a motorbike and someone was next to it. I called the police immediately. I didn’t see any other vehicle nearby.”

 

Police are continuing their investigation to determine whether Mr. Teerapong’s dirt bike may have collided with another vehicle or object or whether he lost control and crashed independently. No witnesses to the crash have yet come forward.

In the states, we have on/off road bikes, but a real "Dirt Bike" is not road legal in any way. I see some strictly dirt bikes (no lights at all) here in Bangkok sometimes, but none of them have a license plate, so I assume you can't register them, thus they would be illegal for road use, correct?
