A 22-year-old man died after losing control of his motorcycle and crashing into a pillar beneath the Chang Erawan BTS station on Sukhumvit Road. His friend, who was riding as a passenger, was seriously injured in the crash.

 

Police from Samut Prakan City Station received the report at around 00:30 am on 4 August. Rescue teams from Samut Prakan Hospital, Ruamkuson Foundation and local rescue associations rushed to the scene under the BTS Chang Erawan station in Bang Mueang subdistrict, Mueang district.

 

At the crash site on the central reservation beneath the elevated railway, officers found the passenger, Mr Disathon Khoiyui, 22, lying on his back with both arms broken and multiple abrasions. He was given first aid and rushed to Samrong Medical Hospital.

 

Nearby lay the driver, Mr Norasing Chancho, also 22, deceased. His body was found with severe injuries including a broken neck, multiple fractures in arms and legs and bleeding from the ears, nose and mouth. His legs were resting against a raised concrete edge beside the pillar. Approximately 20 metres away stood their damaged black Honda Wave motorbike, licence plate from Bangkok, with a badly smashed front end.

 

Relatives and friends who arrived shortly after the crash said the deceased had just celebrated his birthday the previous day (3 August) and was returning home when the crash happened.

 

Mr Nat, 21, a friend of the deceased, said the birthday party had taken place at his house. The victim had not drunk much and decided to leave with another friend. Although Nat did not witness the crash, he heard that the motorbike hit the kerb on the central reservation.

 

Another witness, Mr Palm, 21, who saw the crash, said the driver lost control after hitting the kerb, then collided with a barrier, which threw him across to the opposite side of the road. He said the victim was the driver, while the seriously injured man was the passenger.

 

A nearby resident, described hearing a loud crash and rushing to find two men lying near the pillar. He saw the passenger seriously injured and the driver struggling for consciousness while coughing up blood.

 

Authorities have documented the scene and are reviewing nearby CCTV footage to determine the cause of the crash. The body of the deceased has been transferred to the forensic institute at Ramathibodi Hospital for autopsy before being released to the family for funeral arrangements.
