A collision during a late night street race in Bangkok has resulted in the death of one racer and another 18 being injured during a pile up.
The dead biker has been identified as 20 year old Jeerasak Chanprieng.
The incident took place in the early hours of Sunday (1:15 am) when emergency responders were called to Rama II Road in Muang district to find nineteen racers strewn all over the road.
Police report that one or two of the motorbikes may have lost control causing a chain reaction which brought the whole group down. They also believe some other racers involved were able to flee the scene but says they will be found and brought in for questioning.
Rama II and Phetkasem roads in Bangkok are notorious for bike racers and often become race tracks during early hours on the weekend.
The racers will most likely face charges for reckless driving and public disturbance but are currently waiting for police to round up all those involved.

A man, who had left home a month ago to live by the roadside with a stray dog in Pathum Thani, has been found dead. The dog was watching over the body when others discovered the deceased man. Pathum Thani is just north of Bangkok.
The deceased has been identified as 45 year old Surachai Khamsue. He was found lying by the side of a road in Moo 2 village in Tambon Klong Nueng, Klong Luang district, beside the old and un-roadworthy pickup that he had been using as a home.
His sister, 40 year old Chalermsri Sohsawaeng, told police that Surachai had left home to live in the car a month ago, and that she and other siblings had given him money to buy food.
Her brother liked to drink alcohol, she added. The body was sent for autopsy at Thammasat University hospital.
