The super-bike rider, who was held responsible for the crash by the police, was given a repair estimate of 400,000 baht by the BMW service centre.

The video shared by @aof_823 showed a local motorcyclist’s bike lying on its side at an intersection. A group of people were seen trying to lift the bike, while the BMW bike, which had suffered extensive damage, was parked nearby.
