A 15-year-old boy lost his life when he fell asleep at the wheel while riding a motorcycle with a 14-year-old girl as a passenger. The vehicle lost control and crashed into a bridge pier under the Bang Na–Trat Expressway in Bang Pakong district, Chachoengsao province. The teenage girl was placed in a coma for her injuries, after being rushed to hospital.

 

Police Lieutenant Jetsa Uafoo, deputy investigator at Bang Pakong Police Station, received the emergency call and promptly attended the scene at kilometre 47 on the inbound expressway to Bangkok, beneath a bridge in Bang Pakong subdistrict.

 

At the scene, rescuers found the boy’s body lying face-up near the bridge pier, beside his overturned motorcycle, registered in Suphanburi province. The 14-year-old girl was found semi-conscious in the drainage ditch beside the pier and was immediately taken to Bang Pakong Hospital for emergency treatment.

 

The boy’s father arrived shortly after and was devastated upon seeing his son’s body, breaking down in tears. He revealed that his son had taken the motorcycle without informing the family. The news reached them only when one of the boy’s friends called to report the fatal crash.

 

According to friends, the boy had not wanted to return home, so he and his companions decided to ride to Bang Saen beach for a trip. On the return journey the crash occurred. The girl passenger had managed to make a telephone call for help, reporting that her friend had collided with a bridge pier and died.

 

Authorities have taken the boy’s body to hospital and are conducting an investigation.
