Eight-year-old twin brothers have died and another boy 11, was injured after their motorcycle crashed into the back of a parked lorry in Mueang Loei district on the evening of 12 August.

 

Police said the accident occurred at around 18:00 on the Loei–Tha Li Road, near Ban Pong Patiu in Kok Due subdistrict. Pol Lt Pimanee Charachit, an investigator at Mueang Loei Police Station, received the report and coordinated with the Dewa Rescue Unit to respond.

 

At the scene, officers found a blue Honda Wave motorcycle, registration from Loei, overturned in the middle of the road. The injured rider, an 11-year-old boy named Thiwakorn, was taken to Loei Hospital. Two passengers, twin brothers Thanadet and Thanaphat, both aged 8, were pronounced dead at the scene. All three were residents of Kok Due.

 

A short distance away, police found an Isuzu trailer truck, registration from Loei, parked at the roadside. The driver, 41-year-old Mr. Wittaya from Nong Bua Lamphu province, identified himself to police.

 

Initial investigations suggest the truck had been parked when the motorcycle, ridden by the 11-year-old and carrying the twins, struck a glancing blow to the rear of the trailer at speed, causing the bike and passengers, to thrown along the road.

 

The truck driver was taken in for questioning, and police have collected evidence from the scene. The case will proceed in accordance with legal procedures.
