A middle-aged man was killed in the early hours of the morning after his motorcycle struck a dog on a rural road in Singburi province. The accident occurred at around 03:00 on October 17, 2025, along the Thong En–Chiang Rak route in Moo 10, Thong En subdistrict, In Buri district. The man’s head reportedly hit the ground during the collision, causing fatal injuries, while the dog survived.

 

Police from In Buri Station, led by Police Lieutenant Colonel Monthien Phukhao, were alerted to the crash and arrived at the scene with a hospital doctor and rescue personnel from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, In Buri unit. Upon arrival, they found a black Suzuki motorcycle bearing a Saraburi registration plate lying on the road. Nearby was the body of Mr. Anon, aged 42, who was pronounced dead at the scene with severe head trauma and blood loss.

 

Local residents reported hearing a loud crash followed by a dog’s cry. One witness said they rushed out to find a man injured on the road and immediately called the police. There were no signs of other vehicles being involved and the dog, though startled, appeared to have survived the collision uninjured.

 

Police have initially concluded that the victim likely lost control after hitting the animal. However, they have not ruled out other possible factors such as speed, lighting conditions or road surface issues. Officers have sent the body to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Thammasat University Hospital, Rangsit Centre, for a full autopsy to confirm the cause of death.

 

The incident has once again drawn attention to the risks of stray animals wandering onto rural Thai roads, particularly during the night when visibility is poor. Authorities have urged drivers to exercise caution in areas known to have stray dogs and are coordinating with local officials to address the issue of roadside animal hazards.

 

Key Takeaways

 

• A 42-year-old man died after his motorcycle collided with a dog in Singburi early on October 17, 2025.

• Police believe the victim’s head struck the ground upon impact, causing instant death, while the dog survived.

• An autopsy at Thammasat University Hospital will confirm the precise cause of death.

At least we know who was wearing a helmet.

 

RIP.

One of the great hazards of driving motorcycles in Thailand. With so many soi dogs and strays walking around in the streets, it is very dangerous to the driver. 

It sounds like this driver may have driven to avoid hitting the dog (since the dog had no injuries) and crashed and died. As always, the story seems to pass along the inclination that the dogs well being is more important than the death of another person. Soi dogs and strays should not be allowed to be roaming free to attack or cause incidents such as these.

The main reason I stopped cycling in Thailand.

  I now do it on an hometrainer, unfortunately.
