Featured Replies

A car returning from Songkran festivities crashed into a motorcycle and flipped over in Pathum Thani, leaving four people dead and four others injured. The crsh occurred at around 02:00 on 13 April 2026 on a dark, unlit stretch of Taling Chan-Suphanburi Road in Na Mai subdistrict, Lat Lum Kaeo district. Emergency services confirmed multiple fatalities at the scene and additional deaths later at hospital.

Police reported that the car was a Honda with six occupants. Two people, 20-year-old driver Khemchat Boonsing and 23-year-old Supachai Nopsri, were pronounced dead at the scene. Four others were injured, with 21-year-old Wisut Phuengpae later died at Pathum Thani Hospital.

Approximately 30 metres away, a blue MSX motorcycle was found submerged in roadside water. The rider, 21-year-old Kittiphan Tiptiamphong, was killed, while his girlfriend, who was riding as a passenger, was injured and taken to hospital. Authorities believe the collision began near the entrance to the Na Mai Subdistrict Administrative Organisation, with debris scattered along the road.

According to 19-year-old Nattakamon Noisard, a surviving passenger in the car, the group had been returning home to Lat Bua Luang after playing water in the Sombatburi area of Nonthaburi. She said the road was completely dark with no street lighting and the motorcycle was swerving ahead. The driver braked too late, causing a collision, before losing control and overturning multiple times.

Initial investigations suggest the car may have been travelling at speed on the unlit road when it struck the motorcycle. The impact reportedly threw the motorcycle rider into a roadside ditch, resulting in his death, while the passenger was thrown clear and injured. The car continued forward before veering off into a ditch and overturning, sustaining damage.

Police and forensic teams documented the scene and collected evidence. CCTV footage from nearby areas will be examined to determine the exact cause of the crash. The bodies of the deceased were transferred to the Institute of Forensic Science for autopsies.

ThaiRath reported that authorities are continuing interviews with injured survivors as part of the investigation. Findings from forensic analysis and video evidence are expected to clarify the sequence of events before any legal action is considered.

By the look of things I would deduce that speed might be a factor. Sad ending.

I bet nobody was wearing a seat belt.
Good chance, a seat belt would have saved all in the car

Quite possibly... With an absense of facts - here's my guess.

Motorcyclist pished out of his head - weaving along in merry oblivion without lights.

Driver smashed out of his skull - wellying at speeds well beyond visibility on a dark road.

No one in the car with seatbelts.

Ultimately the tragically consistent yearly 'Songkran' recipe for the grim-reaper - tragic, yet repeated year on year and indeed throughout the year with nothing but more and more media reporting and complete ignorance by officials and authorities towards the statistics which cry out - 'do something about this'....
