A 21-year-old woman has died in a crash, after the motorcycle she was riding pillion on was struck and she was thrown beneath a passing trailer lorry. The incident occurred on Highway 3056 in Uthai district, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province.

 

Police Lieutenant Pallop Intharachet, of Uthai Police Station, responded to reports of a collision involving a motorcycle and an articulated lorry. Emergency responders from the Ayutthaya Ruamjai Rescue Unit also attended the scene.

 

The deceased has been identified as Ms Supriya, a resident of Nong Saeng district in Saraburi province. She sustained fatal head injuries and severe trauma to her body. Her partner, Mr Krissadaphong also 21 and from the same district, suffered facial and bodily injuries and was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital.

 

According to reports, the couple had been travelling from Saraburi to visit the woman’s mother and friends in Pathum Thani. Mr Krissadaphong, who was driving the black Honda Wave motorcycle, told police that another motorcycle veered left as if to discard rubbish, causing a collision. He was unable to brake in time, resulting in their bike toppling over. Ms Supriya was thrown into the path of a trailer lorry and crushed beneath its rear wheels. The other motorcyclist fled the scene and remains unidentified.

 

The driver of the trailer lorry, 59-year-old Mr Tawee, from Nonthaburi, said he had been travelling in the left lane en route to deliver goods in Chonburi when the collision occurred. “I didn’t see the motorcycle until I felt something under the rear wheels,” he stated. “I tried to swerve but couldn’t avoid it in time. I’m deeply saddened by what’s happened.”

 

An eyewitness, 62-year-old Mr Sombat, who was driving a staff shuttle van behind the motorcyclists, confirmed the collision between the two bikes. He said the victim’s motorcycle fell just as the lorry passed by, leading to the fatal impact. He also noted that his own vehicle narrowly avoided hitting the wreckage, but was struck by a following car.

 

Police have documented the scene, interviewed witnesses, and taken both the lorry driver and the injured boyfriend for further questioning. An investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause and whether charges will be filed.
