A brutal collision ensued as a motorcycle crashed into an opened door of a pickup truck, injuring the rider severely. The incident occurred yesterday when local police from Bang Phli station in Samut Prakan were alerted about a motorbike colliding with a pickup truck door, resulting in injuries.

The accident took place inside Soi Bang Pla 45, Bang Pla, Bang Phli. Upon receiving the notification, they coordinated with the Ruamkatanyu Foundation officials and paramedics from Chularat Hospital 3 to inspect the scene.

At the heart of the mentioned Soi, they found an injured man known as 31 year old Suthep, who was a motorcycle taxi driver. Initial emergency medical treatment was provided before he was transported to Chularat Hospital 3.

Nearby, a Yamaha Jupiter motorcycle, black and red in colour, was found fallen. Adjacent to it, a white Toyota Revo pickup truck was parked roadside. The right door of the truck had visible signs of a collision, showing damage from the impact.
