Teenager Killed After High-Speed Chase with Trang Police, Family Raises Concerns
UPDATE Motorbike Chase Ends in Fatal Crash in Trang: Police Explain the Incident Picture courtesy of Khoasod of CCTV of the chase. A dramatic motorbike chase in Trang ended in tragedy when two young men attempting to evade a police checkpoint lost control, resulting in one fatality and one injury. The incident has raised questions from the victim’s family, prompting a response from the provincial police chief. The chase began on the morning of 18 March 2025 when Thanakrit, 19, from Thung Krabue, Yan Ta Khao District, was riding a Honda Wave i 125 with registration from Chonburi. As he approached a police checkpoint on Ton Pring-Pa Mak Intersection Road, he abruptly turned to avoid inspection. His pillion rider, Teerapong (also known as “Jean”), 30, was seated behind him. Police patrol officers attempted to block the duo, but they managed to escape, prompting a pursuit by a police motorcycle unit. The chase continued for approximately four kilometres along the Trang Riverside Road, passing through Pa Mak intersection and Wat Phaisont. The pursuit ended when the motorbike veered off at a curve while trying to avoid an oncoming pickup truck, crashing into the roadside. The impact left Thanakrit injured, while Teerapong was fatally wounded. However, controversy arose when witnesses and the victim’s family questioned why police handcuffed the deceased at the scene. In response to the public concern, Pol. Maj. Gen. Pattharawit Keetamonneeyakul, Trang Provincial Police Commander, clarified the incident. He stated that the crash resulted from the suspect’s own decision to flee rather than comply with standard checkpoint procedures. Body camera footage from the pursuing officer captured the entire chase, confirming that police did not use excessive force. Regarding the handcuffing of the deceased, the officer explained that the incident site was on uneven terrain, two metres below the road surface. The lone pursuing officer, equipped with only one pair of handcuffs, first secured the passenger, who had been thrown further from the crash, before returning to restrain the driver. At the time, the officer was unaware that Teerapong had already succumbed to his injuries. A post-incident investigation revealed that Thanakrit had a prior criminal record related to drug offences and was still using narcotics. A drug test confirmed methamphetamine in his system, and his motorbike was found to be unregistered and illegally modified. Thanakrit now faces multiple charges, including: • Driving under the influence of drugs • Reckless driving causing death • Evading a police checkpoint Authorities have urged the victim’s family to seek compensation through motor vehicle accident insurance if applicable. Pol. Maj. Gen. Pattharawit reaffirmed that the police followed standard procedures and that the situation resulted from the suspect’s actions. He stressed the importance of public cooperation with law enforcement, stating: “Law-abiding citizens have nothing to fear at police checkpoints. Those who attempt to flee often have something to hide. We urge people to comply with routine inspections to ensure their own safety and that of others.” The deceased’s body has been sent to Prince of Songkla University Hospital in Hat Yai for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. Initial reports suggest minimal external injuries, leading experts to investigate possible internal bleeding or spinal damage as the fatal cause. The final autopsy results are pending. -- 2025-03-20 -
