A high-speed motorcycle race involving over a hundred riders ended in disaster early morning on 2 August, leaving two young men dead and three others seriously injured in Bang Phli district, Samut Prakan.

 

Police from Bang Kaew station received reports at around 00:30 of a major motorcycle crash, on the inbound express lanes of Thepharak Road (Bang Na–Trat Highway) at kilometre marker 11, in Bang Phli Yai subdistrict. Officers rushed to the scene accompanied by emergency services from Bang Phli Hospital and volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation.

 

Video footage taken by local residents showed a chaotic and distressing scene: numerous riders sprawled across the road and several motorbikes lying damaged. The noise of revving engines and roaring exhausts continued to echo through the area as traffic came to a halt.

 

According to initial reports, five motorcycles were involved in a collision after one bike rider lost control and crashed into a central barrier. The fallen bike then obstructed others racing behind, triggering a chain-reaction crash. Two riders were thrown from their vehicles and killed instantly. They were later identified as Mr. Phubodin 21 and Mr. Chaiwat 20. Three other male teenagers sustained critical injuries and were rushed to nearby hospitals.

 

Residents confirmed witnessing the group racing recklessly from kilometre marker 13. They described a massive swarm of motorcycles hurtling down the road at breakneck speed. The crash occurred when one rider clipped a barrier, spun out, and caused multiple riders to collide.

 

Police are investigating the incident further. Forensic officers photographed the scene. Authorities are working with investigators to identify and question other riders involved. CCTV footage from the area will be examined to determine the precise cause of the crash.

 

The bodies of the deceased were handed over to forensic officials for autopsy at the Institute of Forensic Medicine.

Who cares .. it is daily business and the RTP, nor the parents, nor the judges are doing anything about it. And althoigh it happens many times, the youth keep on doing it.. so why should others feel sorry for such stupidity
