Two killed in horrific road accident near the Maprachan Reservoir.

A terrible road accident now which occurred in the early hours of Sunday Morning. Police Lieutenant Colonel Chayporn from Banglamung Police Station made his way to the Maprachan Reservoir area where a crash had occurred between a pick-up and a motorbike.

The motorbike driver, Khun Pratom aged 35 and passenger, Khun Sasitorn aged 16 were killed in the crash. The crash was so violent that the female passenger was beheaded.

The driver of the pick-up Khun Gitipong aged 41, who was in a state of shock, explained that the bike approached in her lane on a sharp bend at a high rate of speed and she was unable to avoid the crash.

Police are now investigating the crash further before they decide to press charges against the pick-up driver or not.

when you get older you get a little more protective of your personal self, here the increasing

congestion of traffic combined with wanton disregard for traffic rules often creates horrific

accidents. people still rarely wear helmets, even the silly half-shell things which do little

more than keep the sun off your head. even walking down the side of the street creates

some anxiety because so many of these folks are drunk and will of course simply flee if

the strike a pedestrian. no insurance, no licenses, and tragic injury / loss of young life.

It looks like they reassembled the bodies for a photo op.

A senseless tragedy.

I hope the woman who was driving the pick up gets off the hook if she's being honest.

Already bad enough to have to live with that nightmare.

Driving around the lake at night can be a very dangerous experience, as I know to my own personal cost.

Thank God I wasn't on a bike like those two poor folk were.

Please all motorcyclists, wear your crash helmets, turn on your lights, and expect the unexpected when driving on the Darkside.

RIP to the poor souls who died.

Unfortunately in this case a crash helmet would have made little difference.

Very nasty accident.
