Rubbish ...

 

“About 15 meters away was a Toyota Camry taxi. The driver, Jarun Khitesan, said he was heading toward Surin Beach when a motorbike cut across in front of his car and that he could not avoid the collision,” Capt Rachada said.

 

The ghost of darwin strikes once more.

And no helmet was found. Did they expect to find one?

You said the taxi was stationary when it wasn't, why should we care what else you have to say.

Looks like the bike was unregistered. The bike appears to have lost its front wheel.

The keystone cops strike again with their incompetence !
