Another road death in Phuket

PHUKET: A Phang Nga man was killed in a motorbike accident near the entrance to the Phuket Shooting Range early Friday morning.

Chalong Police identified the driver as 28-year-old Nopparat Yodying, a resident of Tambon Baan Muang, Takuapa District.

Initial police investigations showed that Mr Nopparat was unable to stop when a Honda sedan in front of him slowed down to turn off the road into a driveway.

He hit the back of the car hard and was probably killed instantly, police said.
