Motorcyclist dies in Chon Buri collision with parked truck
A tragic accident occurred in Chon Buri when a 36 year old woman collided with a parked pickup truck while riding her motorcycle. The accident, which took place on a dimly lit road near the Sattahip Naval Base, resulted in her death at the scene.
Rescue volunteers from the Sawang Rojanathammasathan Foundation attempted CPR on the victim, Somboon Chomsiri, but she succumbed to her injuries, which included severe facial wounds.
The motorcycle, a black Yamaha NMAX without a license plate, was found with significant front-end damage. The pickup truck, a white Isuzu D-Max, had damage to its rear and was owned by 30 year old Jirayut Kammaneechan, a colleague of the man at the same company, Best Tech and Engineering Co., Ltd. He was present at the scene, waiting to provide his statement to the police.
Jirayut explained that he had parked the truck on the roadside due to a mechanical failure early in the morning at around 7am. He was informed about the accident later and immediately went to the site, reported KhaoSod.
Police Colonel Thanit Theepakdee, the deputy inspector of Sattahip Police Station, indicated that Somboon was likely on her way home when the accident occurred. The absence of street lighting on that stretch of road contributed to the collision, leading to her death. The parked vehicle’s owner might face charges of negligence causing death.
